When you pick up a part and move it in eeschema, the canvas is not 
refreshed after it is placed, leaving behind graphical debris. Here's a 
patch that adds this refresh.

Goes particularly well with my recent patch to hide the pin targets 
after a connection has been made, as it is much more immediately obvious 
now that a part has been connected.
