If you need a huge drawer, you probably should be looking at a
different UI.
Not sure of the Llama's needs, but a window that expands to show more
material is likely more appropriate than a drawer.
I'm implementing an Inspector.
Normally a floating window would be what I'd use, but since this is a
multi-document app, I want each document to have it's own Inspector.
So I put it in a drawer, because it then is visually attached to its
document and can easily be hidden and shown on a per-document basis.
Unfortunately this size limit might force me to go for the floating
window, but a floating inspector window that's bigger than the window
it's inspecting seems odd, as well...
