The release announcement says that Gtk3 has switched to Cairo to draw the toolkit behind the scenes: Cairo drawing throughout. GDK no longer wraps the antiquated
X11 drawing API; we've made a clean break and exclusively rely
on cairo for all our drawing needs now. As for Clutter, the OpenGL based canvas, Gnome-Shell (aka the Gnome 3 desktop UI) uses cluttter throughout. The new window manager is called Mutter which is a fork of Metacity to use Clutter for hardware acceleration and all the panels and other desktop UI are also rendered this way. |
