yes, it's been like that for ever. INIT_INSTANCE is meant to be used
to initialize the instance; you want a CONSTRUCTED sub, which is
available in C but I never remember if it was added to perl-Glib.

something along the lines of:

sub new () {
  return Glib::Object::new('YourClass', 'property1', $val, 'property2', $val);
}
