While your sequence appears correct, I wonder whether the logic is
optimal. Instead of crisscrossing two stacks launching, may be you
could use send in time to deal with the prefs stack as soon as the
main stack is properly open. Unless your mainstack does really time
consuming chores when opening (and that could be chained after
dealing with prefs), users shouldn't see a real difference and things
may work smoother with programming.
