Layout Customizer: mouse interactions complete

[Daphne Ogle]

Nice work!  In general I think it looks great.

I'm still a little concerned about the ambiguity of the message about  
dragging over a locked portlet.  "This box cannot be placed any higher  
in this column" doesn't make sense if I'm dragging the right topmost  
portlet over the left since I'm not really trying to move it up but  
rather over.  It also doesn't tell the user what the problem is.  What  
about "This box cannot be placed above a locked portlet." (or box if  
that 's the terminology we are using)?
