Well, praying couldn't hurt... ;-)

Actually, I make a "FixUI" handler and at the end of my preOpenCard I put:

  send "FixUI" to me in 20 miilliseconds

and in FixUI, it locks/unlocks. This gives the preOpenCard handler time to
complete, for Rev to go idle and for it to attempt to redraw. Then the
incoming message forces the lock/unlock.
