GtkWidget::visible is handled specially so that it gets applied after children have been added. This works around some sizing bugs in certain widgets (and is the same behaviour libglade-0.x had).

GtkWidget::tooltip implements tooltips for the widget. The property value is the tooltip to set on the widget.

GtkOptionMenu::history sets which menu item index in the list should be selected initially with gtk_option_menu_set_history().

GtkTextView::text offers an easy way to set the contents of a text view's buffer.

GtkCallendar::display_options sets display options of a calendar with gtk_calendar_display_options().

GtkRadioMenuItem::group sets the group for the radio item. The property value is the name of another widget in the group. This property won't handle forward references like the GtkRadioButton::group property.

GtkToolbar::tooltips sets whether the toolbar shows tooltips with gtk_toolbar_set_tooltips().

GtkStatusbar::has_resize_grip sets whether the status bar has a resize grip in the bottom corner with gtk_statusbar_set_has_resize_grip().

GtkRuler::metric sets the bounds and metric type for the ruler with gtk_ruler_set_metric().

GtkMenuItem::label, GtkMenuItem::use_underline and GtkMenuItem::use_stock are used to create a label inside a menu item, and set whether it has a mnemonic (underlined letter), and whether it should be a stock item (standardised, translated label and an icon, if it is a GtkImageMenuItem). These properties act similarly to the identically named GtkButton properties.
