hi; I strongly encourage you to take this question on the Vala mailing list and/or IRC channel: this has nothing to do with Clutter application development.

Would this explain why I can't evaluate expressions like > r.width (where r is a Clutter Rectangle) while debugging with gdb? no, it doesn't have anything to do with debugging with GDB; the debug_enabled flag is set only when compiling Clutter with debugging notes support, and when running with the CLUTTER_DEBUG environment variable — see the API reference documentation: http://developer.gnome.org/clutter/stable/building-clutter.html and: http://developer.gnome.org/clutter/stable/running-clutter.html in reality, this flag is pointless, and the function has been deprecated in master because it's useless. > Are there binaries distributed with debug enabled or do I have to install > from source and enable debugging in the build process?
