Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Add a DragEvent.DRAG_START event handler to a component
2. Call DragManager.doDrag for that component

Actual Results:
The DRAG_START event handler is never fired

Expected Results:
The DRAG_START event handler will be fired

Workaround (if any):
Add a MOUSE_DOWN listener to component.systemManager with a low priority (or on callLater) then check DragManager.isDragging each time.

(See attachment for example: the lower box should turn yellow when the drag begins, but it remains blue)
