Re: Parsing custom-typed properties from Glade file

[Kjell Ahlstedt <kjellahlstedt gmail com>]

Is Type a custom enum? I have never tried to use such an enum in a glade 
file, but I looked at what gtk does.

Their enums are registered with g_enum_register_static(). Each enum 
value is specified with a GEnumValue, which contains a nickname. The 
nickname is used in glade files. Example:
                <property name="direction">none</property>
