ok for the sake of this conversation: you are trying to integrate your custom widget into glade, the fact that it is a composite widget is of little consequence; lets start by getting your instance running in glade and your properties introspected.

You should come join me in #glade3 on irc.gnome.org if you're having trouble it'll be easier for me to help you there... before I misread you again... what do you mean by "with signal handlers custom code hooked up" ? Do you mean your vbox does things with signals ? or it just provides new ones for the user ?
