just one page further:

http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/stable/gobject-Standard-Parameter-and-Value-Types.html

usually, you get the type held by the GValue with G_VALUE_TYPE() and
then switch; obviously, if you know the type of the property already
then you can just use the right g_value_get_*() accessor.
