The easiest way to completely remove a stack when it is closed is to set 
its destroyStack property to true. When that is set, simply closing the 
stack will remove it entirely from memory and prevent the warning about 
duplicate stacks.

The default in preferences is to set destroyStack to false, which is the 
first thing I change when setting up new prefs. However, the pref 
applies only to new stacks that you create. For existing stacks, you 
need to specifically set that property in the stack inspector.

I am not sure how this will affect the GLX framework, but if setting 
that property works with it, it would be the easiest way for you to deal 
with the issue. It only requires a simple checkbox click.
