I'm trying to make desktop drag and drop work under IE. Basically, I want to
make an atom (label plus image) natively draggable to the desktop. Right now
I'm using a plugin to make this work, but I'm not entirely sure that's
necessary. In any case, one serious issue seems to be that IE won't allow
you to make anything natively draggable but an IMG tag. I've been totally
unable to find *any* docs on this, though, so I'm really not even sure what
is supposed to be draggable; if anyone knows, please share.

The problem is, of course, that an atom isn't just an IMG tag. In fact, it
often doesn't contain an IMG tag at all, because even the Image widget alone
is often rendered as a DIV. I can't even change that behavior by
subclassing, BTW, because the method that creates the DOM node is private
(double-underscored).

So my thought is to place a blocker over my atom and make that draggable.
That would require me to add an invisible IMG node to the blocker itself.
I'm having various problems making this work, so I thought I would ask the
experts if this seemed like a plausible approach, or if they had any other
less hacky suggestions.
