There is a *major* change in Gnome 2.12: the use of Cairo under GTK+.
This is a fundamental change in the rendering on the screen; our 2D graphics
becomes second to none, and it sets up for higher performance and more eye candy in the future. Finally, we get away from the old X core graphics completely.

Anything analogous to Cairo for KDE -- now or in the near future?

Sure. Qt4 has the paint framework Arthur (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.0/qt4-arthur.html). This framework can also use different paint engines, like e.g. OpenGL.
