Properties are inherited as anything else (methods, signals).

If properties were not inhertied, why would abstract classes
(e.g. GtkContainer) bother with registration of properties
no one could use?

No, and it you put them there, they will be never executed.
If you want change the property meaning in a subclass, you
have to re-register the property with
g_object_class_override_property().
