Clutter is just the compositing toolkit within Mutter (Mutter = Meta + Clutter, hence Mutter). I'm confused what you mean by GTK not running inside a Wayland server, because GTK is chiefly a Wayland toolkit and a Wayland server isn't really a thing that exists, it's just a compositor (in this case Mutter). :confused_dog: Unless I'm misunderstanding something. I'm sure Mutter is absolutely not designed to tack GTK titlebars onto windows, but I'm sure it *could* and I'm sure Cinnamon is going to have Muffin do it on Cinnamon for Wayland.

GNOME not adapting GTK titlebars for Mutter on Wayland is, as far as I understand it, 100% a choice, even if it'd undoubtedly require some retooling within Mutter to actually get it to work. GNOME views Wayland as a CSD-only protocol. You can see the developers on the Wayland issue tracker saying the same thing constantly. They're fundamentally opposed to server-side decorations. You can see their outright dismissal of SSDs on [their issue tracker](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/217 ).
