In iTunes, Mail, etc, it's not actually a drawer (:

I don't think I've resized the TM project drawer yet...

I use it on both sides, actually. I have two screens, my 20" iMac's  
screen and a 21" CRT hooked up to it; all my code goes on the iMac  
screen (of course (: ), with two projects on the left side with their  
drawers on the right, two projects on the right side with their  
drawers on the left, and two files (not projects) in the middle.  
That's max usage of course, but it's quite pleasant to work with.
