I guess it is kind of a picky distinction, but when the object is being
transferred, the containing JButton need not be repositioned; whereas if
the intent is to move the containing JButton, then it obviously should
reposition relative to it's old spot in the JPanel.  Basically in one case
a swing component is being moved around on the screen and in the other,
something contained _in_ the component is being moved.  As a further
analogy, it's as  when using JBuilder's GUI designer, you can click and
drag a component to a new x,y coordinate - as opposed to clicking and
dragging the String object representing the text of the component.
