The CSS-based drawing is heavily tied to the state defined by the CSS machinery, and that section of the API is private (for good reasons, given the speed with which it's been changing and it's supposed to change in the future). > For example, if someone is doing some custom drawing with cairo on Gtk+ such > as non rectangular widgets, curves with shadow etc. then they can take > advantages of such API instead having to implement those effects with cairo > themselves.

The overall plan is to make widgets more lightweight and easier to compose — similar to "<div>" elements in HTML. The idea is that if you want something that draws with CSS semantics, you will be able to use widgets. Additionally, the plan is to add a Clutter-like scene graph that sits below GTK, for UIs that do not rely on complex widget semantics (like media player UIs or games).
