Thanks for starting this discussion, Pawel.

First, I'd like to clarify about the Clutter view: this new view would be a *completely* *optional* version of the Cardapio GUI. This means that GTK would still be the primary GUI toolkit, but if you then installed a package called something like "cardapio-clutter" you would switch the default GUI to use Clutter.

(In programmer speak: Cardapio would be an MVC program with 2 interchangeable "V"s)

At the moment, I think the Clutter view would be laid out and behave pretty much like the GTK view. But it would be nicely animated, and it would follow Unity's / Gnome Shell's theme. But if you have any other ideas, this is the place to post them :)

One thing that I am pretty adamant about is that — as opposed to Unity and Shell — Cardapio should not take over the entire screen.

Ok, your turn! GO GO GO
