I think this is the problem. When the file opens, it opens a splash screen,
then opens the main stack. The main stack opens the palette stack (using the
palette stack "name"), and then goes back to the main stack (both have
default window decorations). This was the only way I could get both the main
stack and the palette to show up.

I did find a work around last night. In the preopenstack of the main stack,
I set the window height of the main stack to the height I wanted (including
the extra space for the menus). Now everything behaves 'as expected;' until
1.5 anyway :)

Thanks for everyone's help!
