Well GTK 2.7 already has support for cairo, and cairo can use glitz. Glitz matches the XRender specification, so will take full advantage of all this sort of stuff.
As far as I know kde is estimated to have cairo support in KDE 4..

At least that's the info I've pieced together ;) so don't take my word for it

Gtk+ 2.7 is a development version. So better wait until it's released and the first GNOME version depending on it and tested against Gtk+ 2.8 is released.

KDE doesn't need cairo because Qt4 offers the painting framework Arthur (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.0/qt4-arthur.html) that can also use OpenGL.

Somebody will probably create an cairo backend for Arthur but it will be only one of the choice.
