i think that you did not tell the slide show to STOP!
That's why the stack will pop up forever every 2 seconds, if closed ;-)

You need to add these two lines somewhere in your scripts to
actually stop the slide:

...
global the_advancing
cancel the_advancing ##!!!
go stack "whatsoever..."
...

This will really cancel the slide and you can start it again if you  
need...
