I have the handler in the first card of the Home stack too, but it is a 
startup handler, not a preOpenCard handler. Try changing your handler to

needs to load very early in the process.

I'll put it on my "someday" list, but probably won't get around to 
implementing it unless some other changes need to be made too.
