There's a lot of code in on_drawingarea1_button_release_event(),
but I believe the relevant part is that it's calling repaint_all().

I gather that you're working with update_position_thread() in friends.c;
it looks like it just calls paint_friends(), rather than repaint_all()--
and it looks like that's a bug!
