the case is not needed: g_object_new() returns a gpointer, and C will
implicit cast it to the return value:
MyObject *
my_object_new (void)
{
return g_object_new (MY_TYPE_OBJECT, NULL);
}

you *must* have a very strong argument for making your construction
function invoke another method internally, instead of just using a
constructor property. language bindings will almost never call your
constructor function, preferring a direct call to g_object_newv()
instead.
so the code above should really be:
MyObject *
my_object_new_from_file (const char *path)
{
return g_object_new (MY_TYPE_OBJECT, "file", path, NULL);
}

there are lots and lots of code generators for GObject; you can use
Gob2, or Turbine[0]. you could even argue that Vala (even though is a
high level language in and of itself) is a code generator.
