Instead of drawing the points in the button press handler, just queue
a repaint for the drawing area and let the expose handler take care of
the drawing:


static gboolean button_pressed (GtkWidget *a, GdkEventButton *event, GtkDesenho *desenho)
{
        gtk_widget_queue_draw (a);

        return FALSE;
}

Generally, you should not draw in things like event handlers, only in
the expose handler. This lets gtk+ do automatic double buffering and
combine multiple repaints into one.
