Package: libclutter-1.0-0
Version: 1.6.16-1
Followup-For: Bug #619636

The internet has a lot of reports like this (executing one of the cookbook
examples:
$ ./cookbook-8.2.1
failed to create drawable

(cookbook-8.2.1:31853): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter:
Unable to select the newly created GLX context
------------------------------------------------
I found a temporary way out of this:

1. download the latest source from the clutter site and unpack the tar file.
2. configure clutter using the following options:
    $ ./configure --with-x --with-flavour=opengl-egl-xlib
    $ make
3. (as root)
    # make install # installs  to /usr/local/bin, by default.
4. execute any clutter programs with
    $LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libclutter-glx-1.0.so <program> <args>....

maybe no the most elegant way, but it helped - me, at least.
