Description Vlad Grecescu 2008-05-04 10:55:54 UTC 
There are still some GObject APIs that expose a public field and provide a set and get method for it, but don't publish it as an GObject property.

For example, modifying the TreeViewColumn.sort_column_id field does not do the same thing as calling TreeViewColumn.set_sort_column_id ().

Usage of an attribute/annotation for cases like this should be possible in the VAPI files.
Comment 1 Jürg Billeter 2008-05-25 15:37:51 UTC 
That should already be possible. Reopen if you have a test case where a non-GObject property doesn't work.
