If so, a small suggestion - kill the HBox/VBox subclasses; that API
convention was copied by GTK pre-1.0 from Motif, and it's just dumb.
Instead, a single Box class should have an "orientation" property.
(Handy, for example, if you have a toolbar or panel that can be moved
around to various edges of the screen.)

(This fix among others is in HippoCanvasBox, feel free to ruthlessly
plagiarize HippoCanvasBox which is LGPL just like Clutter)

Havoc
