You can dodge this with glade's register custom prop functionality. See:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/libglade/libglade-Libglade-Build.html#glade-register-custom-prop

I've tested it, and my custom property function is indeed called after
instantiating the widget, so it could work (I've only done a quick test
as I had little time today).

However, perhaps someone familiar with Glib::Property's knows why the
property isn't set the normal way. I mean: Glade3 seems to supports the
property directly, and even libglade knows whether the gtkmm widget has
the named property (because else libglade starts complaining that the
property does not exist).
