orrery crashing X

[Benjamin Deering]

Thanks for applying that,

I thought the orrery maintainer would have applied it by now upstream 
too.  When I sent him the patch, he was planning to get a build out that 
weekend.  All of the current orrery development is happening on maemo 
for n900.

I never heard whether is faster to draw each point direct to display, or 
to draw to a buffer and display the buffer.  If my change is slower, and 
you have fixed the stack corruption when lots of events are sent to the 
glamo, then you may not want my patch.
