location of open drawer

[Scott Morrow]

Eric,
Making it simple is always good advice.  Thank you.  I did as you  
suggested and discovered that when the parent stack is moved using  
the standard drag handle that the drawer will report its rectangle  
accurately.  But if the window is dragged about using some other  
method (my original parent stack had the decorations set to empty and  
used a custom drag script) the drawer continues to report the same  
rect, no matter its location.

My purpose is to move palette windows out of the way of a "Save"  
dialog sheet.  I have a palette with a large drawer which is often  
open so I need to determine whether it is blocking the sheet.  It  
appears I will need to construct the rect from other, known  
information.  This seems like a bug so I will BugZilla it.
