The set/get_property() virtual function in the class structure is not a 
signal class closure.  The property system makes sure it calls the 
get_property function of the class the property was defined on.  So 
setting the "visible" property a GtkHBox will call the set_property 
method in GtkWidget's class structure (not GtkHBox's).  No need to worry 
about parent properties or chaining.
