I was just reading the GObject docs and found the following (see
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/2.17/chapter-gobject.html#gobject-instantiation):

Object instantiation

The g_object_new family of functions can be used to instantiate any GType which
inherits from the GObject base type. All these functions make sure the class
and instance structures have been correctly initialized by glib's type system
and then invoke at one point or another the constructor class method which is
used to:

    * Allocate and clear memory through g_type_create_instance,
    * Initialize the object' instance with the construction properties.

I'm still working on C++ bindings (gstreamermm) and am encountering problems
with some of the *_new* functions, particularly the ones pertaining to the
Gst*Pad* objects because the GObjects are not initialized with the construction
properties (for example "name" and "direction" properties for gst_pad_new(),
etc.).  Is there a reason the GObjects are not initialized with the
construction properties?  Would it be difficult to fix?  Is it contemplated to
be fixed?  Thanks.
