You know that you can shrink the standard OSX Font panel down to really 
small?  I understand what you mean about some of these standard panels 
not being minimize-able.  I don't understand why not though.  Anyone?

The thing about the OG palettes and info viewers is that they're not 
owned by any one window.  The palettes are globally available and the 
viewers reconfigure to show the settings of the current selection.  If 
they were drawers, you'd probably be constantly popping them open and 
shut if you use multiple documents and want to save screen space.

So, my opinion is 'no' - the current design makes sense, given what the 
palettes are for.
