Well sort of,  but the messages are still being sent,  I need to suspend all
other events while the dragging takes place.  There might be as many as 12
events pending.  That's the bit I'm having trouble with.  I don't know
whether I might be able to save the pendingmessages into a global and
restore them once the dragging is done.
