no; the API subset that's clearly thread-related and that it safe
(unless obviously not - like clutter_threads_init() and
clutter_threads_set_lock_functions() - but these are clearly marked as
such) to be called from another thread is set in the clutter_threads_*
sub-namespace. we cannot put it in another namespace altogether - this
is still Clutter API.

yes; idle and timeout callbacks will be executed from within the same
thread that is spinning the main loop.

load-async is a GObject property, and can be defined using
ClutterScript:
{
"type" : "ClutterTexture",
"load-async" : true,
"filename" : "/path/to/filename",
}
will load the file asynchronously - as long as you use Clutter from
master, which guarantees the ordering of object members; otherwise just
set load-async to true and call clutter_texture_set_from_filename()
explicitly.
