    <title>Introduction to Clutter</title>

    <para>The <application>Clutter</application> package is an open source
    software library for creating fast, visually rich and animated graphical
    user interfaces.</para>

  <note>
    <para>Anything built with this toolkit needs hardware 3D acceleration from the
    graphics driver at runtime.  This is provided by <application>MesaLib</application>
    (or by proprietary graphics drivers), but is not available for every graphics card,
    nor for all virtual machines). You may wish to review <xref linkend="checking-dri"/>.
    </para>
<!-- I don't quite understand this second paragraph, but I think first one covers
     clutter enough

    <para>If you use <application>GNOME-3</application> and it selects the
    <emphasis>fallback</emphasis> window manager
    (<application>metacity</application>) you should treat this package as a build
    dependency and expect unsatisfactory runtime performance from other
    <application>clutter</application> packages such as
    <application>totem</application>.</para> -->
