                If the Common Palette is associated with a text editor then it's desired to allow

                users dragging and dropping text into the palette to create new custom code clips that

                can be dropped into editor later on.

            </p>

            <p>

                That can be achieved simply by subclassing the default DragAndDropHandler class 

                which manages all DragAndDrop-related operations in the Common Palette and turning

                the text dnd support in superclasses's constructor on. The default implementation

                pops up a dialog window when some text is dropped into the palette where user enters

                code clip name and tooltip and optionally selects appropriate icons.

            </p>
