Hey Ken, great stuff.
I use a similar 'launcer app' to debug. One thing I noticed with
StackRunner is that it stays open in memory even though all the windows
(stacks) are closed (XP). This is a potential problem, as it opens up
successive instances of itself each time it's launched. Thus the user
can 'think' they've quit the stack (and StackRunner), but it's still in
memory.
I'm not exactly sure how to fix this best. I suppose having a 'send
message' to check the openStacks() every minute or so would do it. In my
case, I keep the orig stack wd open (very small) and it kills the app
when it's closed. I understand this isn't a good way for StackRunner to
work, as you want to get completely out of the way.
Anyway, just my 2 cents worth.
