The G_CONST_RETURN define in GLib is, and has always been, a bit fuzzy.
We always used it to conform to the platform, at least for public-facing
API.
At first I assumed it has something to do with brain-damaged compilers
or with weird platforms where const was not really supported; sadly,
it's something much, much worse: it's a define that can be toggled at
compile-time to remove const from the signature of public API. This is a
truly terrifying feature that I assume was added in the past century,
and whose inception clearly had something to do with massive doses of
absynthe and opium — because any other explanation would make the
existence of such a feature even worse than assuming drugs had anything
to do with it.
Anyway, and pleasing the gods, this dubious feature is being
removed/deprecated in GLib; see bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644611
Before deprecation, though, we should just remove its usage from the
whole API. We should especially remove its usage from Cally's internals,
since there it never made sense in the first place.
The ParamSpec sub-classes we define are meant to be used only from the C
API, as high-level languages completely ignore them.
The ClutterStageWindow interface is an internal type that escaped into
the public headers; all its methods are private, but we cannot remove
the type until we break for 2.0.
Since EGA colors are apparently all the rage in other toolkits, Clutter
should not be left out. On top of the usual CGA/EGA palette the static
colors also include the Tango Icon palette, which at least is more
pleasant to the eye.
Static colors are accessed through an enumeration by using
clutter_color_get_static(), or using the short-hand pre-processor
macros.

The interpolate() method does what it says on the tin: it interpolates
between two colors using the given factor.
ClutterColor uses it to register a progress function for Intervals.
While grepping through the public headers looking for invalid use of
private HAVE_* defines, I stumbled upon two out of sync comments. Yes
it's a very minor trivial change.
The ClutterColor API has some inconsistencies:
- the string deserialization function does not match the rest of
the conversion function naming policy; the naming should be:
clutter_color_parse() -> clutter_color_from_string()
and the first parameter should be the ClutterColor that will
be set from the string, not the string itself (a GDK-ism).
- the fixed point API should not be exposed, especially in the
form of ClutterFixed values
- the non-fixed point HLS conversion functions do not make any
sense. The values returned should be:
hue := range [ 0, 360 ]
luminance := range [ 0, 1 ]
saturation := range [ 0, 1 ]
like the current fixed point API does. Returning a value in
the [ 0, 255 ] range is completely useless
- the clutter_color_equal() should be converted for its use inside
a GHashTable; a clutter_color_hash() should be added as well
- the second parameter of the clutter_color_shade() function should
be the shading factor, not the result (another GDK-ism). this way
the function call can be translated from this:
color.shade(out result, factor)
to the more natural:
color.shade(factor, out result)
This somewhat large commit fixes all these issues and updates the
internal users of the API.

* clutter/clutter-color.[ch]: Add GParamSpec and GValue integration
for ClutterColor. With ClutterParamSpecColor it is possible to define
color properties; with the GValue integration it's possible to
automatically transform strings into colors and vice versa.
(clutter_color_free): Allow NULL parameter to match other boxed
types destructors.
(clutter_color_new): Add a constructor for the ClutterColor boxed
type, mostly for bindings.
* clutter/clutter-private.h: Remove inclusion of backend-specific
headers; update the main context object; add the declarations for
the event queue functions.
* clutter/clutter-backend.[ch]: Add the abstract ClutterBackend
object, which holds backend-specific settings, the main stage,
and the event queue. Every backend must implement a subclass of
ClutterBackend and ClutterStage.

behing #ifdef HAVE_CLUTTER_GLX.

event queue private API; hold a reference on the event objects;
move out the keysym-to-unicode table; add the new event types.
* clutter/clutter-color.h: Include clutter-fixed.h
* clutter/clutter-main.c: Update API; get the main stage
from the backend object; process the event received from the
queue; lock/unlock the main mutex if we have one; move the
initialisation process sooner in the init sequence, in order to
have the backend object when we check for options; call the
backed vfuncs in the pre/post parse hooks.
* clutter/clutter-stage.c: Make ClutterStage and abstract class,
implemented by the backends.
* clutter/clutter/glx/clutter-glx.h:

* examples/*.c: Update for the new API.
* clutter/clutter-color.h:
* clutter/clutter-color.c: Expose clutter_color_copy()
and clutter_color_free() for the python bindings, so that
they can manager the conversion automatically; use the
slice allocator when copying/freeing a ClutterColor.
* clutter/clutter-color.h:
* clutter/clutter-color.c: Add clutter_color_parse(),
which parses a string containing a color definition as
understood by XParseColor() (or pango_color_parse()).
* clutter-color.h:
* clutter-color.c: Reimplement ClutterColor as a boxed type;
add convenience API for color handling, like: add, subtract,
shade, HSL color-space conversion, packing and unpacking.
* clutter-private.h: Update ClutterMainContext, and export the
main context pointer here.
* clutter-rectangle.h:
* clutter-rectangle.c: Update the color-related code; make
clutter_rectangle_new() and empty constructor and provide
clutter_rectangle_new_with_color(); provide color setter
and getter API.
* clutter-label.h:
* clutter-label.c: Rename the "font" property to "font-name";
update the color-related code to the new ClutterColor object;
rename clutter_label_new() to clutter_label_new_with_text(),
and add setters and getters for the properties.
* clutter-marshal.list: Add VOID:OBJECT and VOID:BOXED marshallers
generators.
* clutter-stage.h:
* clutter-stage.c: Rework the API: provide a default constructor
for a singleton object, named clutter_stage_get_default(), which
supercedes the clutter_stage() function in clutter-main; provide
new events: button-press-event, button-release-event,
key-press-event and key-release-event; update the color-related
code;
(clutter_stage_snapshot): Allow negative width and height when
taking a snapshot (meaning: use full width/height).
(clutter_stage_get_element_at_pos): Rename clutter_stage_pick().

stage and color related code.
* clutter-event.h:

support; allocate the ClutterCntx instead of adding it to the
