I've been using cairomm and gtkmm with cairo 1.3.x without problems, though I have to admit that my usage of the API is not very wide. But I haven't encountered any problems either[1], just speed speed speed ;) I'd say that getting cairo 1.4 would be critical for GNOME 2.18, otherwise we will have yet another six months of less-than optimal performance (and we all know how well the audience takes such things...)
