using properties in gobject instance_init

[Steve Feehan <sfeehan sbb uvm edu>]

I hope this is the correct forum for this question...

For example, the object is created:

    g_object_new(FOO_TYPE, "name", "Steve", NULL);

In the instance_init function for type Foo I would like to use
this property. But it appears that the set_property function
is called after instance_init.

Is this correct? If so, how can I use properties when
constructing the object?

Thanks.
