How to connect to signal emitted by gobject properties.
quick update for future reference :
I found the solution to my problem. Its explained well in gnome docs
https://developer.gnome.org/gobject/stable/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#g-object-notify-by-pspec
basically, we just have to hook 'Gegloperation' object instance for signal
"notify::your_op_name".
But, again whenever we change any property value. all the values of the
operation values will set not just the one which is changed. I came to know
about this when i tried to hook by overriding 'set_property'. so if I
understood correctly we can't hook the signal to know which property is
changed. It seems logical as Gegl is separated from host program.
correct me if I'm wrong.

hi,
I want to hook "notify" signal emitted by GeglOperation properties. But
for that I need operation's 'properties' gobject. I can easily hook for
'GeglOperation' since its a 'gobject' instance but how can I hook for a
property? I tried hook by GValue by 'g_object_get'. also tried to hook by
'g_object_class_find_property()' which returns a 'GParamSpecInt' type of
value. as expected it didn't work as they aren't gobjects.
In short how can I get properties 'gobject' instance? I checked gonme
developer site, gobject's documentation still no luck.
