Setting the acceleratedRendering to true on startup on Android 7 and Android 8

Panos: I just tested Swami's app on my Pixel running Oreo (Android 8) 
and acceleratedRendering seems to be working okay. There is a 
preOpenStack handler in the stack script:

on preopenstack
    wait 100 milliseconds with messages
    set the fullScreenMode of this stack to "ShowAll"
    set the acceleratedRendering of this stack to "true"
end preopenstack

The "wait" was to fix something else, but I wonder if it is allowing 
acceleratedRendering to kick in too. That would seem similar to your 
suggestion to send the message in time.
