Have you tried from the constructor ?

gtk_show_about_dialog () indicates that the properties are set before the widget
is realized and after construction.

I doubt its safe to call g_object_set from an instance initializer
(maybe you can get away with not calling g_object_set and just setting
the values on your instance accordingly, since they belong to you anyway).
