I didn't remember it, but logs show that I translated into "trazador"
back in 2007, in the file po/es.po only. Then, all along the docs I
have not translated it again as "trazador" [drawer]. I have adopted
"objeto de extensión" [ ~ an object with an extension, or a long
object, or one which occupies space] now.

I'd vote for that if my knowledge of French or Italian were greater.
