I prefer separate additional windows quickly opening in pre-defined (saved) 
places on the desktop. In my case they will often partly overlap with parent 
window they were opened from. Drawers are in reality just special kind of 
additional windows which are sticked by edge to parent window.  

In other words, they are normal windows but "positionally challenged". 

I would prefer windows which are freely positioned and remember their 
positions and  size. KDE 3.1 is better in this aspect compared to somehow 
chaotic window behavior in 3.0.
