Why going to that extend? It is only 1 line of code? Sounds like 
overkill.
The default alwaysbuffer of the templatestack is false, both in MC and 
RR.
But in RR they set this property of the templatestack in the "New 
Mainstack" case of the menupick handler
Why not add this 1 line (or more if more properties ought to be set) to 
the "New Stack" menupick handler of the "file" button?
