Description Raul Gutierrez Segales 2011-11-02 20:00:53 UTC 
In Sugar's toolkit[1], which is now being ported to gtk3, we use gdk_property_change() to set string properties (@data as guchar *). It seems that because the the @data param can be casted to multiple data types it ended up being marked as (skip) so it isn't accessible to us via introspection.

One approach to this would be providing gdk_property_change_{char, short, long} as wrappers for gdk_property_change. Since the cast would be gone, these methods would be introspectable. Or we could have only one wrapper using GValue for @data.

Which approach would be more desirable?

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are closing bugs that haven't seen activity in more than 5 years. If this issue is still imporant to you and
still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please consider creating a gitlab issue
for it.
