Properties cannot be used because they are defined in the class initialization. Anyway, as Diego, me also 
will be more than happy to have a chance to bind arbitrary key-value to an object. I think implementing it 
using g_object_{set,get}_data() should be possible, using the g_strduped text as the value and adding
<data name="mydata">myval</data>
to the XML definitions.

Checked GtkBuilder but found nothing on this matter.
