I know this is nitpicking, but you should use the class method to prevent misspelling and it gives quick notification if the class changed names.

[window isKindOfClass:[NSDrawerWindow class]]

Your "quick notification" will be when your app crashes when it fails to link against AppKit.

[window isKindOfClass:NSClassFromString(@"NSDrawerWindow")]

NSDrawerWindow is a private AppKit class, which requires access to its header, or your own declaration of an interface. Using NSClassFromString() will not break if the private class does not exist, returning Nil, whereas it would crash if you had directly linked against it. -- Shaun Wexler MacFOH http://www.macfoh.com
