It's possible but nowhere near as interesting ;-)

It's probably because I am using the very latest clutter which is only
available in the experimental repos for most distros at the moment.

If you are using a newer gnome desktop you should have clutter installed
already.

what does the following give you:

       pkg-config --modversion clutter-1.0

What I can do is lower the version number and make it compile time
optional...

That way it gives you a chance to catch up to me without missing out on
the latest updates ;-)
