Component Drag&Drop operations can be configured and controlled by the 
originator (here: Palette, Designer, Component...), which can e.g. 
provide a TDragObject governing the whole operation. In Lazarus these 
capabilites are restricted by the incompatible LCL DragManager, which 
does not use the methods of the TDragObjects declared in the VCL.
