GTK2.@HowToRead

How to read this manual

Every class has a number of member functions, properties, and signals. Properties are manipulated with the GTK2.G.Object/set_property() and GTK2.G.Object/get_property() functions; signals are used with callbacks and the GTK2.G.Object/signal_connect() function (and friends); and member functions are called directly. Entries shown in bold were defined at that level in the class hierarchy; non-bold entries are inherited.

Unless otherwise stated, a return value with type the same as the class it's defined in will be returning itself. For example, the set_property() function is defined in GTK2.G.Object and returns a GTK2.G.Object; it returns itself, allowing calls to be chained:
obj->set_property("prop1","val1")->set_property("prop2","val2");

All other parameters and return values should be explained.
