This problem is increasing in importance as Clutter gets added to more
and more programs. I just tried to import some photos using gthumb:

$ gthumb

(gthumb:24916): ClutterGLX-CRITICAL **: Unable to find suitable GL
visual.

** ERROR **: Unable to initialize GtkClutter
aborting...

GLX works, glxgears is happy, depth is set to 24 bits.

This problem with Clutter should be fixed in some way as it threatens to
make a whole range of machines unusable just because their video drivers
do not support some non-essential feature which Clutter insists on
using. Those machines are perfectly capable of running modern software
as can be seen by the fact that I use a Thinkpad T23 as my main machine.

Clutter is non-essential and should be made optional if it can not be
changed so it does not depend on GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two and/or
GL_ARB_texture_rectangle.
