1) You've got it all backwards. These are the bindings allowing you to
write GNOME programs from Java. GTK is of course very important as the
GUI toolkit used to do so - and so central to much of our work - but
GNOME is the platform.

2) The namespaces were picked during the 4.0 re-engineering design
effort. We did talk about this 18 months ago, and a decision was made
then.

To answer your other question, the namespace for the Cairo bindings is
org.freedesktop.cairo
