It's against Mac UI rules to put the drawer to the top of window which has a standard titlebar. Please, move it to the bottom as it looks really oddly now; besides, I've spent few minutes trying to understand, why Show Activity doesn't really display it, while the LDAPManager window was maximized to the full screen. Even when I minimized it (but it was on the top of my display, having its titlebar adjacent to menu bar), the Activity didn't show up, and only after I moved the window lower, it was finally displayed.

    It is set to prefer the bottom edge, but it will come off the top if there is the most space there. I don't really like the activity as a drawer, and am thinking about creating an activity window. However, since the app is document based, I'll need to figure out a better way to handle multiple windows. Perhaps a consolidated activity window.
