    - Reload the font caches on X11 when the user installs a new font
    Whenever the user installs a new font inside one of the directories that
    ware being watched by a session daemon, or changes the fontconfig
    configuration, the toolkits using FontConfig (either directly or indirectly
    e.g. through Pango, like Clutter) should listen to the Fontconfig/Timestamp
    XSETTINGS key and release all the font configuration caches. This allows
    selecting the newly installed fonts without requiring the user to restart
    the application.

    - Allow using "font-description" as a ClutterScript alias for "font-name"
    ClutterText:font-description allows passing a PangoFontDescription
    directly to a ClutterText; when defining a ClutterText instance inside a
    ClutterScript file, :font-description should be an alias for :font-name,
    which takes a string and converts it to a PangoFontDescription.

    - Make sure that LayoutManager subclasses take the allocation origin
      into account when allocating the children
    A LayoutManager should be resilient against allocations with an origin
    not positioned at (0, 0); this allows actors using a layout manager
    instance to munge the box and implement things like margin and padding
    without the layout manager having knowledge of those concepts.

    - Build fixes
    Always link against libm when building Clutter (and its tests); don't
    rely on libraries lower on the stack to do so.
