Since there were questions about the drawer feature. I decided to try 
out the feature.

I added the drawers to the panel. Then I dragged an icon from my panel 
to the drawer. It took, so I dragged another application icon into the 
drawer. Both applications, now within the drawer launched correctly.

After I set the top panel to autohide, it did as you described. All of 
the "drawers" were opened.

My system was upgraded from severn1 to Fedora. I think it is safe to say 
that this is a bug.

During the beta testing. I don't remember anyone trying out the drawer 
feature. It needs to be fixed though.
