clutter

In Gtk, is it possible to make widgets fade in and out?

I would like to have a Label (or at least the text on the label) do a quick fade-in. It looks like this is possible in clutter, but I don't want to use clutter until clutter-sharp is packaged for Ubuntu. Is there any way to do this that doesn't involve using clutter? ...
