I think that was from Mark Wieder, and only on Windows (since it has no 
truly faceless mode).

I never hide the stacks on Linux.

I think the problem here is that "go" requires a GUI, since it causes 
the card record to be unpacked for rendering, and of course there is no 
rendering with -ui.

Why do you need to "go" to a card?  Data can be accessed from any 
object, even those that aren't "opened".
