well mine was just a suggestion. Clutter alone [which is mature in its 
1.6.x branch] can be used in a raw form but there's also a clutter-gtk 
branch http://git.gnome.org/browse/clutter-gtk/ which instead isn't that 
mature.
I don't know a lot about goocanvas so I cannot say much about it. Anyway 
a killer feature for Clutter is its ability to manage complex and cool 
effects without much effort; I don't think they're on goocanvas too.

thanks and regards,
