I thought I could just call source.startFullDrag() in my DragDetected method then I would get MouseDrag events on my source, but that isn't happening. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Please file a new JIRA and provide a small test case that demonstrates 
the problem.

You could use the TRANSPARENT style for your popup window and paint a 
transparent hole (alpha == 0) in its center (or wherever you need it), 
and keep the popup positioned so that the mouse pointer is located above 
the hole. Mouse events always pass through transparent pixels. This way 
mouse events will get delivered to a window below the popup window in 
the z-order, while the popup window itself can float above it following 
the mouse cursor.
