From my vague recollection of implementing D'n'D in
an animated Gif project, that is wrong.  Originally I 
had added the drop listener to an 'image list' on the 
left of the GUI - but decided it made sense to allow 
images to be dropped anywhere in the GUI.  AFAIR
I had to move the drop listener to the frame to allow
the user to 'drop anywhere'.

Have you got an SSCCE that shows this behaviour?
