firing mouseEnter msg of an Image control which was painted

[Scott Rossi]

Right.  The unfilled region of a partially painted image should be nonresponsive to mouse messages.  This is how one can can create irregular/organic hit regions for the image or another control.  But in terms of a completely erased image versus its text set to empty, there may be something there.
