Re: slowness while dragging icons in gworkspace

[Eric Wasylishen]

Hi Riccardo,
That doesn't sound good.

The changes I made in GWorkspace should not have caused that; they should only 
affect the selection rectangle, which is now drawn with a transparent 
background (which has its own pitfalls; it only works well with cairo, and is a 
bit slower than I would like.)

As I can't reproduce the slowness when dragging I'll need you to help isolate 
the change that introduced this.
