Adding properties shouldn't require code support, currently
though - we dont have a way to define pspecs in the catalog
xml (there's a bug open for that), so you have to specify
a function that creates the pspec - that /could/ be defined
in a support module - but we have some standard ones defined
in gladeui/glade-builtins.c (like glade_standard_int_spec etc).

See the gtk+ catalog for examples of how these specs are used.

Currently I think you are trying to define an enum pspec, this
wont work without support code creating the pspec or fixing
that bug and letting us define pspecs in the catalog.
