That is precisely what I expect the code above to accomplish.  The 
start using command places stack "x3" before stack "x2" [presumed to 
have been opened or put in use earlier] in the message path; so "set 
the icon of button x to (the icon of button x)" should now find the 
icon in stack "x3" instead of "x2".  Did you try it?

If you care to send me your stacks privately, I will test it here.
