Actually this doesn't work on Windows, Rob... the way resizing is handled is
different between platforms - even just simply resizing the stack by
dragging the bottom right corner is different (Mac sends resizeStack when
you release the mouse; Windows sends it constantly as you're resizing the
stack while the mouse is down).

There's a way to tell the rect of the stack against the windowboundingrect,
but you'd have to subtract the height of the stack's titlebar (which on
Windows is up to the end user).

I'll root around and see if I can find some code to help...
