[TxMt] project draw open only on left please

[Michael Gregoire]

It should be a preference feature then. One that the user can choose  
the behavior of.

I also only have use for the drawer on the left. In fact I hope that  
2.0 will no longer use a drawer and uses something like that found in  
Mail.app
