(Get the code!)
We require animations which require timelines. Clutter has a great timeline implementation but it, of course, has not been written to also work with Gtk. By taking the timeline code out of clutter and adapting it for Gtk, we don't need to re-invent the wheel.
Of course this means that we would need to track any fixes that the clutter folks have made to the timeline & alpha code, but hopefully Gtk will be getting animations soon, so we can drop EggTimeline in favour of that. If there is interest in the EggTimeline code, it may also be worth to separate it out into it's own library for other developers to use (as the need for animation in Gtk is quite large).
I'm marking this bug as invalid as you haven't provided an alternative to using EggTimeline.
