thank you!  while this may be a 'nifty feature' to some, it totally goes 
against the standard expected behavior for menus: you open a menu, you 
click somewhere (anywhere) else, and the menu closes.  calling it a 
'drawer' doesn't change the fact that it looks like a menu, acts like a 
menu, and therefore _is_ a menu.  just because CDE did (does) it doesn't 
mean it's good - i'd argue to the contrary.
