PreOpenBackground Messages

[Brian Milby]

Interesting.

Now that I re-read it, I see the solution.  That seems really odd though,
why would the message go through every background?

So, I need a "if pBackgroundID is not the id of me then pass
preOpenBackground" in each handler.  Now I need to go fix my MobileDemo
stack :)

Thanks for the good catch.
