      This bug only shows up after JDK1.1v (if this helps at all) and is seen in all
      the JDK1.1.1 builds.
      On win32, we are getting a MOUSE_DOWN event when the MOUSE_DRAG is in effect.
      In HJ, when we see a MOUSE_DOWN followed by a MOUSE_DRAG it is a trigger for us
      to initiate a DRAG operation in the Remembered Places window. Because of the extra MOUSE_DOWN events introduced during MOUSE_DRAG, multiple draggable
      containers are created with the visual effect of blotched display
      when drag and drop is attempted in the Places window.
      As a workaround, in ui/HotListFrame we are not creating new draggable containers if a valid one already exists. This covers us for now but there may be other cases where bad things could happen.


      =================================

      case DraggableContainer.DRAG_START:
      // This is a workaround for an AWT bug on win32 where
      // a spurious MOUSE_DOWN is generated during MOUSE_DRAG.
      // When we see a MOUSE_DOWN followed by a MOUSE_DRAG, we go
      // ahead and build a DraggableContainer to initiate a drag.
      // Because of the spurious MOUSE_DOWN, we would end up creating
      // multiple DraggableContainers. Only the last such container
      // would be disposed on a DROP event as we still have a handle
      // to it via the draggable variable. The rest of the windows
      // would remain as floating windows till the Places window was
      // closed.
      // With this workaround we ignore requests for creating
                  // DraggableContainer if a valid container already exists.
      if (draggable == null ) {
      DragStartInfo startInfo = (DragStartInfo)evt.arg;
      draggable = new DraggableContainer(this, this, startInfo);
      }
      return true;
