Apparently not as I had suggested.  I just made a stack and set its 
width to 4444, and it made a stack of that size without a problem while 
my display is only 1680 px wide.

I think the true limit of most stacks is about 32k px.

The issue with using them as popups, however, does seem to limit them to 
the screen height - reverified in both v4.0 and v4.5.
