clutter_redraw() should not be used by applications - every application
code should use the ClutterActor::queue_redraw() method instead.

in any case, and after the experience of 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6, making the
bindings track trunk is an incredibly bad idea; the bindings will have
to wait until the API in trunk enters a "slushy" state, with a
semi-frozen API. unless, obviously, people are willing to keep
submitting patches when trunk changes.
