Comment 10 for bug 1462445

Since a recent update in Arch Linux to gtk3/clutter/cogl, parole (built from git) segfaults when the clutter backend is enabled. Not using the "--enable-clutter" configuration parameter makes parole work again. This is probably related to clutter migration to gdk backend (from x11)- see: https://blogs.gnome.org/clutter/
