ugh. that would make Clutter depend on libgtk.

bad, very bad.

I'd rather have libgdk-pixbuf be definitely split out from GTK+ (and
fixed with the API breaking fury of an angry god of old while we're at
it) instead - which would collide with the whole idea of having fewer
libraries but at least would make it possible to have parallel graphical
libraries not depend on (and page in) GTK+ itself.

libunique uses GDK - plus some Xlibs API to gather a fallback timestamp.
