Ok, done.

Ok, I'll add this.

Do we still need to namespace properties with GParam - I mean, should they be
called "GnomeCanvasItem::param" etc. or can I just call them "parent" ?

Btw. is there any way to get a list of all properties in a class, I only see
g_object_class_find_property() but this needs the name of a property as
argument ... ?
