+Override this if you wish to draw the window contents to the backing bitmap

+redraw the updated window itself just before dragging, which can cause a flicker just
+as the drag starts. Instead, paint the drag image's backing bitmap to show the appropriate
+graphic {\it minus the objects to be dragged}, and leave the window itself to be updated
+by the drag image. This can provide eerily smooth, flicker-free drag behaviour.
