Thank you Thomas. I will try your suggestion of AbsolutePanel within a FocusPanel. I suppose the container FocusPanel receives the drop (mouse) events that actually occur within the child AbsolutePanel.
I am also intrigued by your comment on gwt-dnd. It does look promising for our requirements. Thanks to Allen Sauer. I got the impression that GWT 2.4 is natively trying to support the same functionality offered by gwt-dnd. I noticed Allen Sauer joined Google's DND team/project. (What is your plan Allen?) Again, thank you Thomas for your helpful reply!
