Public bug reported:

Running Xubuntu 20.04.4

I've started seeing all sorts of programs failing in the last week
apparently due to clutter.  This includes Geeqie and Cheese, and
possibly Zoom, although I haven't tracked down the problem there.  For
example, when I try to start geeqie, I get:

Can't initialize clutter-gtk.
Start geeqie with the option: --disable-clutter

When I try to run cheese I get:

(cheese:1207183): Clutter-CRITICAL **: 17:54:24.432: Unable to
initialize Clutter: Unable to initialize the Clutter backend: no
available drivers found.

** (cheese:1207183): ERROR **: 17:54:24.432: cheese-application.vala:89: Unable 
to initialize libcheese-gtk
Trace/BPT trap(coredump)

In researching the problem I ran across this article:

https://blogs.gnome.org/clutter/

Now, I have no idea what clutter is/does, but it seems to now be
retired.  Was the package removal back-ported to earlier releases of
Ubuntu?  The gir1.2-gtkclutter-1.0, gir1-clutter-1.0 and
gstreamer1.0-clutter-3.0 packages are still installed.

Any guidelines here?  Thanks.
