could you please re-read what I wrote in my reply? gnome-shell depends
on clutter-0.9; the default GNOME external modules moduleset for the
"normal" jhbuild only provides clutter-0.8 because it's the stable
release. while clutter-0.8 introspection data is provided by
gir-repository, the required clutter-0.9 introspection data is provided
by clutter-0.9 itself.

so, in short: "normal" jhbuild does not provide the correct dependencies
for gnome-shell. you should be using the gnome-shell moduleset, which
lists the correct set of dependencies.

ciao,
 Emmanuele.
