Hi;

Really waiting on Ebassi to comment as he wrote the older stuff and
understands much better than any one else Clutter wise.

My thoughts re layout implementation in a nutshell;

 - Things should still work well/easy in fixed env - ideally base actors
should not have to implement any layout specific allocation methods
(beyond query/request as now). If they dont layout cant fall back to
clipping, or simply resizing or something.

 - ClutterGroup is just a container - it does no automatic layout. This
is deliberate and I think should stay like this (with other Container
subclasses implementing layouts).

 - Need to keep things like animation, children being positioned in 3D
space etc in mind and handled.

Also its worth noting now in trunk clutter group size querying is fixed
to correctly take into account child transforms now.

Many thanks;

  == Matthew
