/**
 * Lightbox:
 * @container: parent Clutter.Container
 * @inhibitEvents: whether to inhibit events for @container
 * @width: (optional) shade actor width
 * @height: (optional) shade actor height
 *
 * Lightbox creates a dark translucent "shade" actor to hide the
 * contents of @container, and allows you to specify particular actors
 * in @container to highlight by bringing them above the shade. It
 * tracks added and removed actors in @container while the lightboxing
 * is active, and ensures that all actors are returned to their
 * original stacking order when the lightboxing is removed. (However,
 * if actors are restacked by outside code while the lightboxing is
 * active, the lightbox may later revert them back to their original
 * order.)
 *
 * By default, the shade window will have the height and width of
 * @container and will track any changes in its size. You can override
 * this by passing an explicit width and height
