It depends on application, IMHO. For example, I tend to make dialog boxes
(preferences, "ask list"-style, config windows, etc.) as substacks because I
wouldn't want to see them as separate stacks. Also places where I want to
hold images for buttons, etc. I make a separate substack I call "Resources"
and because all images on a stack and its substacks load when the mainstack
loads, this makes them available but doesn't display them
