Hmmm, the symptoms were slightly different. Back when I was
experiencing that bug the first time around, panning the map around
forced it to update itself. And the problem with redrawing the screen
wasn't limited to portions of the map, it was always the whole map.

This time around, (large) sections of the map won't update at all
regardless of how much I pan it, while (small) sections of the map
redraw freely without issue. It was quite strange. i should do a
screencast...

Confirmed, libchamplain 0.8.1 and clutter 1.6. So it probably is that
bug then. I guess it is worth my time to continue backporting to 0.8
then ;-)

Cool, good stuff.

Ok, yeah. I just remember having a lot of troubles with the
introspection annotations and i wasn't sure if those fixes made it
into 0.8.x or not.

Thanks Jiri!
