Rendering flaws of the dash previews

[Andrea Cimitan]

Watch the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJjPP0lqouA

It seems the dash re-renders the whole canvas while you are hovering buttons, and the canvas where the image is drawn is not cleared, that's why the shadow of the icon is placed above and above the previous rendering.

On a side note, I am not sure we want to render everything while we simply hover a button, maybe we do useless redrawings?
