Fair nuff.

Clutter doesn't have any dependency on gtk+ although it is written with
the same API methodology to make it relatively seamless to integrate the
two. You can embed clutter stages into a gtk3 window /widget and  vice
versa but that is a separate lib called clutter-gtk.

Clutter also has support for Cairo drawing too if you want to leverage 2d
and 3d together.
