I have added this not as startup handler but per Ken's instructions 
in the preopen handler of cd 1 script of the Home stack. Without this 
script inserted, the launch hangs up as I mentioned before. With the 
script, MetaCard launches and all works except that the home stack 
buttons have no icons until clicked.

It could be cool if the setup script checked whether the above script 
fragment is added and pop a warning if it is not. Nothing more.
