All other points about drawers aside, you should *never* have

Drawers are passé now. Even Apple's moving away from them now as
they were never cross platform. Hmm. :)
And sheets are?
Nope! But you also don't expect as much out of them either as they
are usually modal and replaced on other platforms with modal windows.
It's a bit of OSX eye candy but nowhere near what Apple expected out
of Drawers. In effect, Rb Drawers are just attached floating windows.
To do what you want you might check out Charles Yeoman's "I
Declare" and other Window manager functions from Apple's
documentation.
You just shouldn't have two drawers open at the same time. Not only
is it a horrible interface, it's not designed to work this way. Do
The Right Thing.
I agree. You can have two drawers but only one should be visible at a
time. But, since they appear as floating windows on other platforms,
and more than one of these is acceptable, why use drawers in the
first place if you need more than one of them open. I guess you can
presume that I don't like them and never use them by that statement.
Rb just doesn't support them very well and probably for good reasons.
