XFCE doesn't use OpenGL to draw windows etc etc etc.  It relies on the 
"traditional" X 2D primitives (lines, fills, bitblt) that no longer 
exist on modern graphics hardware, and have had to been implemented 
internally by the various drivers in various stages of bugginess and 
performances.  

(The GLAMOR effort that natively runs 2D stuff via OpenGL is an attempt 
 to pull that crap out of the drivers and back into the main stack, 
 where it belongs, and coindicentally ends up being a lot faster..)

There's been a lot of behind-the-scenes progress in the graphics stack 
over the past few years; basic infrastructure stuff is still progressing 
by leaps and bounds, and yes, GNOME3 is a big driver and beneficiary of 
that.
