I think doing the actual conversion in clutter is a good place for a
late bound workflow, as we have access to the 3d engine. In this case,
GTK (or mutter itself) grabs the settings from GCM and passes it to
mutter. If we're not in 3d, or using an early bound workflow, then
doing it as a cairo solution would also work, and be easier to
implement.

In GTK we use cairo for printing too. "Print preview" support would be
very easy to add.
