The current sugar theme does use cairo for all of its drawing (for
everyone who does not know, I am the author of the theme). However, the
theme is quite complicated, and GTK+ 3.0 introduced a completely new
theming system based on CSS and a new engine API (that I am not familiar
with).

I do hope though that it will be less hackish to implement the required
things with GTK+ 3.0.
