Now the grid draws as expected, there are still some issues left on OSX 
for the drawing code:

 - When moving a object you can't see where it is while moving
 - The pen-width of the sheetframe is very thin (almost invisible)
 - The outline modes in pcbnew are broken

Thank you for fixing this, i have the feeling that the drawing code is a bit
faster than before. This is good because it will still take some time to 
move
to the GAL.
