is putting a stack too far offscreen dangerous?

Don't think so.  Have used -10,000 without problem, but never really tested
if there is a limit.  The bigger issue is getting Rev to honor the
off-screen position, but then again, I do a lot with custom windowshapes, so
that might be part of it.  Would expect "normal" windows to be OK.
