no, ClutterGroup overrides show_all() exactly to avoid the gtk+-like
behaviour that you (and I) are used to. :-)
it's been like that since Clutter 0.2 -- the rationale being that you
might be using a Group to hold invisible placeholders for later
animations, or source actors for clones, and calling show_all() would
display them. in theory, we might add a private "no-show-all" flag and a
clutter_actor_set_no_show_all() - but as far as I'm concerned, if you're
using ClutterGroup you're off to interesting behaviours anyway, and you
should probably be using your own container.
