Simulating 'drawer' behaviour on Windows

[Derek Bump]

I would honestly say for aesthetic reasons, don't make the drawer a 
palette.  Make it a normal stack with no window decorations and create 
your own simulated border.

That way if someone drags your main stack, the drawer will not "raise" 
above other windows while your main stack does not.

Thus far from my testing I've been able to successfully create a drawer 
that slides open and close on either side of the window.  The only thing 
it can't do is keep the "focus" on the main window.  But if that's the 
only side effect, I can live with that.
