OK, I understand it now. Frankly, I think my answer is the same with one
exception: I would like for the Home stack to do absolutely nothing other
than launch a list of other stacks and then get out of the way. That way, if
one creates a tutorial stack, they can drop it into the "Home stack" folder
and it will launch on startup. Or, one could put altToolbar (or whatever
utility stacks they have) in a folder and they will launch automatically on
startup. This way, you could ship MC IDE with all the functional 'home
stacks' you wanted, and the user only has to remove them from the Home
folder and they will no longer launch.
IOW, there is nothing within the Home stack which, when missing, would
hinder or prevent the MC IDE from running.
Just my 2 cents.
