Description
Hi I'm looking about some deps deprecated, I found there is gir1.2-gtkclutter-1.0 that also take have old not maintained and deprecated clutter and cogl (out of muffin) as deps.
From a fast search I don't found import of gtkclutter so seems not used anymore, is it correct? and clutter cinnamon should now use only the muffin one, is it correct?
There is also caribou that is not maintained upstream anymore (only security and fail to build fix in latest years), latest upstream version of 6 years ago and still use the deprecated clutter (out of muffin/mutter).
I think can be good search for alternative virtual keyboard. @mtwebster @clefebvre what do you think?
