A sub-class of ClutterBox might add ChildMeta support, and since
pack_at() does not go through clutter_container_add_actor(), we
need to manually call the create_child_meta() ourselves.
clutter_actor_set_parent (actor, CLUTTER_ACTOR (box));
clutter_actor_queue_relayout (actor);
+ /* we need to explicitly call this, because we're not going through
+ * the default code paths provided by clutter_container_add()
+ */
+ clutter_container_create_child_meta (CLUTTER_CONTAINER (box), actor);

g_signal_emit_by_name (box, "actor-added", actor);
