Exactly.  Though it makes no sense why it should be overwritten.  I 
consider it to be a Metacard quirk.  I took the "save new size" out 
of the resizeStack handler, and put it into a special handler that 
the user must call upon in a Preferences menu.

Not my first choice but it does work.  I looked all over the Metacard 
docs for the sequence of events of a stack opening but did not find 
it.  I know it must be there but it is well hidden.

I remember the plugins thread but skimmed over it.  If I get a chance 
I will look for it and save it to my Metacard Info folder (where I 
save tidbits that I know will be of use later :-)
