Yes, that is a good idea. That would be easy to do.

I think I am having a problem with "mixed signals" though. For example, I am
starting my "repeat loop" for QT inside openStack. I think I'll try and move
things around first.

By the by, the video grabber doesn't *really* reside in a stack anyway -
it's a special sort of a global window - so I don't see how defaultStack
settings could apply.
