It looks nice to me, I can't help feeling that things like:
gpointer get_foo ();
void set_foo (gpointer);
Might be better done using the GValueArray thing - which for all it's
intrinsic clunkiness might give a better result - perhaps with some
extra boxed types. The contract just seems rather unsafe via a gpointer.

Another thought is; that if this API is going to be ABI stable, it's
well worth adding gpointer dummy[4+]; to each publicly exposed interface
- so that virtual methods can be added later.
HTH,
