Layout Customizer: mouse interactions complete

[Allison Bloodworth]

+1

I agree with Daphne--the error message as it stands doesn't make much  
sense in that context. I would use the "This box cannot be placed  
above a locked box" wording. (If we don't want to use the word  
portlet, which is another potential choice but perhaps too technical,  
the only other words I thought *might* make sense here are module,  
section, or cell.)
