So I'm actually very interested in trying to merge in what you need to 
interact with Clutter.  I want to refactor gvnc to be a GObject which 
you could then presumably easily hook up to Clutter.  Can you take a 
look at the gvnc interface and see if that, as a GObject, would be 
sufficient?  I am interested in using Clutter to provide scaling support 
and perhaps some other interesting effects.
