The "resizeStack" message is sent only to the current card, and then on
up the hierarchy. The other cards never receive the message. If you have
only a few cards, you could resize them all at the same time by locking
the screen and then using the "send" command to send a "resizeStack"
message to each. If you have more than just a few though, that may take
too long. In most cases I think you'd just want to send a "resizeStack"
message in a preOpenCard handler.
