I dont understand your question really,
  - g_object_new() creates an object with the specified properties
    (if any properties are specified - otherwise they are assumed to be
    the defaults that you specified in the GParamSpec)
  - You can later set these properties using g_object_set()
  - If you cant set a property using g_object_set() later on - then you
    probably didnt give it G_PARAM_WRITABLE permissions or you called it
    G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY.
