exported property accessors and types

[Michael Lawrence]

Is there a reason why the exported accessor for an OBJECT property uses
the type GObject * instead of that specified in the object_type argument
for the property?

The same occurs for BOXED (uses gpointer instead of specific type).

If this is not intended, should I fix this and submit a bug?

Thanks,
Michael

Seems like a bug to me.  Feel free to submit a patch to this list (this is
where one submits bugs)

The patch is attached. It works for me, but I am not sure if it is the best way to do it.

Thanks,
Michael
