  mycontainer.set_layout_manager(new Clutter.BoxLayout());

work for you?

you can use the C API reference, but there is some work going on to
create simple tutorials for JavaScript developers using the GNOME
platform:

  http://developer.gnome.org/gnome-devel-demos/unstable/beginner.js.html.en

they are a work in progress, and help is welcome.

there is, just not on gnome.org:

  http://lists.clutter-project.org/mailman/listinfo

you want clutter-app-devel-list (to which I set the Cc:).

no, but you can use the Mash library to import PLY files from Blender:

  http://wiki.clutter-project.org/wiki/Mash

though you may need some tweaks to the library to cope with the latest
API in Clutter.
