 *
 * A #GESGroup is an object which controls one or more
 * #GESClips in one or more #GESLayer(s).
 *
 * To instanciate a group, you should use the ges_container_group method,
 * this will be responsible for deciding what subclass of #GESContainer
 * should be instaciated to group the various #GESTimelineElement passed
 * in parametter.
