We need an alternative to the translation performed by the anchor point,
one that possibly applies to all three axes and is relative to the
pivot-point.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677853
For some transformations we need to be able to set the Z component of
the pivot point.
Unlike :pivot-point, the Z coordinate is not normalized because actors
are 2D surfaces.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677853
Given that the rotation transformations are now affected by the pivot
point, the Actor class should provide an accessors pair only for the
angle of rotation on a given axis.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677853
The pivot point is a point in normalized coordinates space around which
all transformations revolve.
It supercedes the anchor point and the per-transformation center points
as well as the gravity settings, and tries to sort out the mess that
is the modelview matrix set up in ClutterActor.

The ClutterActor:depth property has always been a bit of a misnomer:
actors are 2D flat surfaces, so they cannot have "depth"; the property
defines the position on the Z axis.
Another side effect of the :depth property is that it decides the
default paint and allocation order on insertion, and that setting it
will call the ClutterContainer.sort_depth_order() method. This has
proven to be a fairly bad design decision that we strung along from the
0.x days, as it gives a false impression of being able to change the
paint and allocation order simply by changing the position on the Z
axis — something that, in reality, requires depth testing to be enabled
during the paint sequence of an actor's parent.
For 2.0 we need a clean break from the side effects, and a better
defined interface.
ClutterActor:z-position is essentially what ClutterActor:depth is, but
doesn't call into ClutterContainer, and has a more apt name.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679465
The :position property on ClutterText clashes with the same property on
ClutterActor; it's also badly named, given that it represents the
cursor's position inside the text; finally, it does not match its
accessors, violating the API style conventions.

Overriding the default behaviour of ClutterDragAction::drag-motion is
currently a pain; you either need to subclass the ClutterDragAction and
override the class closure for the signal, or you need to connect to the
signal and call g_signal_stop_emission_by_name() - neither option being
particularly nice or clean. The established pattern for these cases
would be to have a boolean return value on the ::drag-motion signal, but
we cannot do that without breaking ABI.
To solve the issue in a backward compatible way, we should introduce a
new signal, ::drag-progress, with a boolean return value. If the signal
emission chain returns TRUE, the ::drag-motion signal will be emitted,
and the default behaviour will be honoured; if the signal emission chain
returns FALSE, instead, the ::drag-motion signal will not be emitted.

Acquiring the Clutter lock to mark critical sections is not portable,
and not recommended to implement threaded applications with Clutter.
The recommended pattern is to use worker threads, and schedule UI
updates inside idle or timeout handlers within the main loop. We should
enforce this pattern by deprecating the threads_enter()/leave()
functions. For compatibility concerns, we need internal API to acquire
the main lock during frame processing dispatch.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679450
• Remove the threads_enter/leave calls; they are not needed, given that
the code between init() and main() is single threaded.
• Ensure that the idle callbacks are inserted with the right priority,
to avoid updating the UI after the data has been freed.
Apparently the update to build the GDK backend broke the "installation"
process of the binaries. Fix that by grouping the binaries as Release or
Debug.
Actor transformations do not affect the layout management by default; we
can easily show that a scale animation does not break the layout policy
inside an example.
It can be useful to check whether a ClutterActorIter is currently valid,
i.e. if the iterator has been initialized *and* if the actor to which it
refers to hasn't been updated.
We can also use the is_valid() method in the conformance test suite to
check that initialization has been successful, and that changing the
children list through the ClutterActorIter API leaves the iterator in a
valid state.
The dispose sequence will keep the object alive, and we need to release
the last reference held by the StageManager before releasing control to
GObject.
The build should not add deprecated/ into the default INCLUDE paths, so
that deprecated headers are clearly separated; this will make it easier
to get rid of them when we branch out for 2.0.
Copy and paste of the implementation done at Gtk+ based on pango. This
should be moved to a common library, like the old GailTextUtil. Ideally
on pango itself.

It is possible that we get a DeviceChanged event for a device
that is not in the hash table yet. E.g. I've seen this when
using xrandr to change screen resolution. Prevent a crash in
this case.
