i dont like them either... but if they were supposed to vanish, when the app 
is send to the background, i may like them more. (btw:  on my checkout, it 
does only this.)
they may be nice, to implement toolbars (well, yet another thing to 
debate...).

i already have a semi-working version, that implements drawers as floating 
panels (based on a user-default, or openOnEdge: parameter).
!!!!! introducing api incompliance (minor, openOnEdge: will take a different 
parameter...) !!!!!

i thought so too, unfortunatly, it will open/closed way too many times...
seems, as if NSWindowDidMove gets called to many times...
i will look more deeply at it, when i find time (i have to get a new mainboard 
first ;).


btw:
 i implemented a special border for the drawer, that also allows the user to 
close the drawer (otherwise not possible without resizing (which is not 
implemented)).
i will post a new checkout, when floating panel behavior works.
