 Sub-classes can overwrite the pointer if they need a special 
 implementation of the function.  
 So when you then call set_name on a GstObject that happens to be a 
 GstElement, GstElement's implementation will be invoked and not 
 GstObject's. Otherwise you could break the Bin's structure by calling 
 gst_object_set_name on a GstElement, even though the API allows that.

+a vmethod is a bit of an overkill for something as simple as setting a
+name IMO. This bug is related to gst_element_(s|g)et_parent (which has
+different error reporting than its GstObject part, for no reason). We
+have to decide if we keep the methods or only use the gstobject
+counterparts (look at gtk+ for example). I vote for removal...
