you've got a gtk problem in your patch. It's spewing GTK-CRITICALs.

yes, this patch seems to have solved this, which is good, but you haven't 
solved my concerns that it takes ~10sec to move any distance on the map and 
it's still choppy. I think that until these latter concerns are addressed, it 
should not be applied. I do like the idea of doing a scroll on right button 
press, with a center_map on right click. That seems elegant to me. It addresses 
economy of mouse movement, precision, with (i think) fewer lines of code. I 
believe that GTK will register events outside the gtk_window (i.e. is you end 
the button press off the civclient window, GTK will handle it correctly, 
someone correct me if I'm wrong).
