Everything on stack 2 repositions correctly and everyone is happy.  Now, they click a button and stack 2 is closed to reveal stack 1 again.  Stack 1 is still formatted for portrait!  It does switch over, but we "see" that happen.

How about hiding the stack that is in the background and when bringing
it to the front, send it a resize message and then make it visible.

Or send a resize message to all the stacks whenever it is received by
any of them.
