Bug Description

The Indicator class behaves differently from normal GObjects in the following ways:
 * It is not possible to get/set properties through the 'props' attribute.
 * It does not raise TypeError when trying to access an undefined property and returns None instead.

Tested with python-indicate 0.2.0-0ubuntu1, libindicate 0.2.3-0ubuntu2.

libindicate's still being maintained for LTS but has been superceded by libmessaging-menu in 12.10, so it doesn't make sense to make large-scale changes to the IndicateIndicator class now.
