Yup, that was it. Thanks. There was a text file and also three aliases 
to stacks. I took them all out and made a new build of the IDE, and it 
works now.

If you get a chance some time, it would be nice if the plugin manager 
would test for stack files. Other file types leave blank lines in the 
list, which also throws off library loading. The aliases all referenced 
stacks, but they don't resolve and so they leave blank lines in the 
list. When there are blank lines, trying to open one of the plugins or 
loading one as a library is off by as many lines in the list as there 
are blanks. I.e., in the Plugin Manager I would select a line in the 
list, click "Open as toplevel", and a stack 3 lines up would open.

I still have no idea why my old copy of the IDE was opening an unrelated 
stack on disk though. With the new IDE build it stopped.
