Idealy this shouldnt be in the gtk+.xml unless it needs to be
special cased; once style properties are integrated; they should
be introspectable since they are installed with.
     gtk_widget_class_install_style_property ()

Any virtual style properties will have to be setup in gtk+.xml,
also the loader backend (libglade atm) will have to be modified
for support of style properties.

I would add a "Style" tab, I think thats expected.

Well there's the brief HACKING file, all bugs/features should
be in gnome bugzilla under the "glade3" product
