I believe a newly-created stack *is* a mainstack. It only becomes a
substack after the moment of creation when its mainstack/owner
property is changed. But the actual stack creation mechanism is the
same.

Probably not going to help much, but if you set the name of the
templatestack before creating a new stack, the stack name gets updated
before openstack fires:

set the name of the templatestack to "minnie"
new stack "haha"
-- stack "miniie" gets created,
-- and then its name gets set to "haha"

...sorry... I did all my testing from script rather than from the
menubar.
