OK. So here's my theory:

libglade instantiates the underlying GObject and sets the properties on
it.
libglademm instantiates the C++ wrapper object, to wrap the underlying
GObject. But it's only at this point that the properties are defined for
this object (via the PropertyProxy instantiations).

So we'd need some way to make sure that the properties are defined for
our custom GType when that GType is defined, again maybe via a custom
GObject init function.
