yep, the main reason for asking to bump from clutter-gtk 0.10.2 to
0.10.4 is because of the fixes that went into making clutter-gtk compile
against the version of gtk+ that's going to ship with Gnome 2.30. this
brings clutter-1.2 along because of the changes in dealing with input
device state which affect embedding a stage into another toolkit like
gtk+.

the proposed bumps for 2.30 are:

  clutter >= 1.2.0
  clutter-gtk >= 0.10.4

the artifacts might be due to the new sub-region update code, or if
aisleriot is reading back texture data from cogl; we have two fixes
already in the pipeline for that that will be backported to clutter-1.2
today.

ciao,
 Emmanuele.
