The PropOffset structure tells the StdProps system where in the object to store the various values. It is a NULL-terminated list of PropOffset structs (defined in lib/properties.h). Each PropOffset element contains the following:

• const gchar *name: An internal identifier, relating this property to the PropDescription.
• PropertyType type: The PropType of this property.
• int offset: The offset into your struct, most easily obtained with offsetof(MyObject?, field).
• int offset2: An additional offset used in some special cases.

This really ought to be folded into the PropDescription structure, IMHO.
