When I say "nontrivial" I meant for gdk_draw_* and friends. With
gdk_render_ all the hard bits will be in libart, XRender, etc. rather
than GDK itself, the only real work for GDK is designing the API.

The hard work would be then porting all the GTK widgets over to use
the gdk_render_ rendering model instead of the gdk_draw_ one.

Yep.
