Another feature request - use Drawers instead of panels/palettes??

Hey Frasier, Jonathan, Jeremy, and Timothy:

It seems that everyone is pretty well split between using drawers or 
panels, so I figure that I might as well add my own opinion on this 
issue.

I use Graffle on both my iBook, with 1024 resolution and on my large 
monitor at work with 1600 resolution.  Because of the small screen on my 
iBook I have forced myself to learn the hide show key commands for all 
of the palettes.

These commands are very useful when you are limited in the space that 
you can work on Graffle.  So when I need to use say the colors palette, 
i hit command-shift-C and then hit it again when I'm done.  This allows 
me to efficiently save space by not cluttering my screen but also allows 
me to move palettes around when I need to and not overlap.

However there is one thing that I would find useful and that's snapping 
windows so that I could snap a palette into place in the corner of my 
screen and not have to worry about wasting any space.

Anyways, thats my feel on the issue.  I'm glad there we are getting such 
great responses from all of you on these UI issues.  Just let me know if 
you have anything else that you would like to bring to our attention and 
I'll be happy to help.

Sincerely,

David Kasprzyk
