Oh crap, I was wrong about this. The exceptions got written to the 
terminal window. Hm.

I've definitely seen dragging throw the exception in the first sclang 
session where it's launched, then behave well after relaunching sclang. 
I.e., I just did exactly these steps:

1. Quit the swing server that I launched in the terminal.
2. Reboot the server from sclang (g.boot).
3. Run this and drag -- Java exception got posted.

w = Window("test", Rect(910, 50, 110, 30));
d = DragSource(w, Rect(5, 5, 100, 20))
     .beginDragAction_({ "drag".postln });
w.front;

4. Recompile the library from Emacs (without quitting the swing server).
5. Run the same code and drag. No exception.

So it seems a workaround for me is to recompile the library the first 
time SwingOSC gets booted, and then leave the same instance of SwingOSC 
up and running all day.
