No. No particular reason. I have it working now. I was just trying, as this
point, to figure out why the openCard message wasn't being sent.

It appears that maybe the cause was because *at the moment of cloning* the
stack was invisible. So even though I set the visible to  true after
opening, in the meantime the openCard handler was not automatically set.
