I added the current code to WIP for others to take a look. It is not perfect and some functions need some renaming. > Every widget has a display process counterpart.

Higher level widgets like a Freevo listing will do some stuff like getting the names of the items and creating thumbnails. On sync() the changed stuff goes to the server. The server has another prepare function running in the kaa mainloop. In this part we may want to load an image. After the preparing is done, the server jumps into the clutter mainloop doing all the clutter API calls. I will play with this the next days: rename some stuff the way I like it, improve the container/widget stuff (e.g. add reparenting and deleting), add clutter animations support (BTW, the new API for this is way cooler than the old one) and start porting some higher level widgets.
