drawer opening wrong side --stubborn

[Scott Morrow]

I agree that for cross platform purposes using a disclosure triangle  
allows greater consistency and easier code maintenance. However,  
there are times when drawers provide a solution in OSX (other than  
their gee-wiz OSX look) that can't be fully achieved otherwise.  
Window resizing over time can be done smoothly to the right and down  
but not to the left or upwards.  Drawers (when they work) allow for  
the window space to grow *smoothly* in all four directions.  Sure,  
it's *just* cosmetic...
