gthumb: ... Unable to initialize the Clutter backend: no available drivers found

[Robert P. J. Day]

  last friday, i did a system upgrade from a fully-updated f27 system
(ASUS laptop) to fedora 28 beta, it worked flawlessly, then
suddenly yesterday, gthumb started behaving badly:

** (gthumb:6069): CRITICAL **: 13:15:22.317: Failed to parse
arguments: Unable to initialize the Clutter backend: no available
drivers found.

  system specs: ASUS gaming laptop, with nvidia 965M, using the
nouveau kernel module:

since the system upgrade last friday, i've done a few updates, as well
as one "dnf autoremove", but i didn't see anything that looked like it
might have provoked this issue, and gthumb seemed to have worked fine
all weekend.

  i'm currently digging around on google and in bugzilla, seeing if
someone else has reported and resolved this. thoughts?

This is likely fixed with this mesa update:

way to updates-testing)
