Only the second part stands, i.e. any property should have its
own accessors. There is some exception though, e.g.
GtkContainer:child, but that is a special property anyway (it is
write-only).

They are equivalent. Sometime you can encounter missing accessors,
so I'd use g_object_{set,get}_property(), more so if you plan
to do some automatic processing (e.g. writing binding code).
