You'll need cairo (go ahead and get the 1.8.x version, its better than
the old ones), libpixman (again, the later the better). Might need a
particular pango version, I'm not sure. GLib needs to be a particular
version for a given GTK version.

In all of the above cases, I can only recommend getting the latest
stable released versions of all the software. GTK 2.8 etc.. is just a
minimum.

I'll look forward to hearing your feedback relating to the cairo
rendering once you try 1.5.2, or git HEAD code (1.5.2 isn't out yet
though!).

Does your X server have the "render" extension? I'm not sure what
cairo's performance will be like without that, but I recall that it can
work without it - perhaps just not as fast.
