The OS decides, not the stack or Revolution. On a Mac, the OS usually 
chooses to launch the copy of the application that you ran most 
recently. Since your standalone and Revolution will both open stacks, 
the OS decided that your standalone was the most recent version. I think 
there must be other rules too, because sometimes the OS is not 
consistent about what copy of an application it chooses.

I think that was true in OS 9. If you are running OS X then it may not 
be true any more. Maybe someone who knows more about how the OS works 
can answer.
