In fact you can do that using Clutter and Clutter-GTK wich integrates GTK inside Clutter.

Using compiz or in windows set the opacity of your Gtk window to increase using a timer, overriding the on_expose event.

If you mean transition effects like windows fading in and dropdown lists animating, then the answer is you can't. These effects are the domain of the window manager. To get them you have to use a window manager with fancy effects, like Compiz.

This also means that anyone using your application could be using any window manager, so you can't count on them seeing the same effects. That's why you can't program them in GTK.
