Yes, and these are accessors for the GtkTableChild struct fields. They
are not properties, because GtkTableChild is not a GObject.

I have no idea what a "child property" is here. It might be something to
do with the GtkTableChild struct, or it might be some setting for all
children, or it might be a property that a widget only has when it is
inside this container. I will ask on gtk-list gnome org

This might be something that needs new gtkmm API. In the meantime, you
can access the underlying GtkTableChild instance with gobj(), if we can
figure out what you can do and how to do it.

I doubt that it would help you set the GtkTableChild struct fields
directly, because the GtkTable has no way to receive notification of
these changes.
