Quick hack to fix crash in clutter gtk osx runloop

While testing pitivi on Mac OS X 10.9 I had an immediate crash on startup (bug 738771). On investigation this was occurring inside AppKit's event handling when dealing with an NSDate instance -- I was able to stop the crash by adding an explicit retain/release around the timestamp that the clutter run loop passes in to NSApplication.

Patch attached.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version of clutter, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/clutter/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
