If I understand correctly, you are trying to create two different 
mechanisms, both that can move the component.  You are using drag and 
drop to move a component from one container to another, and another to 
move the component within the container.  Is this correct?

If so, I think you will run into problems with this approach.  You have 
two listeners (yours and the drag-and-drop mechanism), and both may try 
to move the component in response to the same mouse gestures.

Is there some reason that you cannot handle moving within the container 
using the drag-and-drop mechanism as well?  I can't think of any reason 
that should not work.
