Installed gthumb, but will not run

$ gthumb
failed to create drawable

(gthumb:1226): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter: Unable to select the newly created GLX context
The program 'gthumb' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadGC (invalid GC parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 144 error_code 13 request_code 60 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Re: Installed gthumb, but will not run

Unfortunately, this happens with all clutter-based applications (caribou, cheese, gnibbles, gnome-documents, sushi, quadrapassel, totem) on systems that no have hardware acceleration, and use software rasterizer.

Solutions, what I know:
1. Install the appropriate DRI driver, if available.
2. Rebuild packages without clutter, if possible.
3. Look for alternatives.

Any other solution?
