AFAIK,live code offers no such option when opening a stack . . . there was
a big to-do several years ago when the package maintainer for fvwm on
(iirc) debian decided that the user placing each and every window was the
only sane way to handle it.  I believe that it actually deleted other
methods from existing .fvwmrc or some such (or I may be mixing idiotic
choices).

Anyway, in this case, I'm popping up a stack over a field with the list of
valid choices (I needed more than the built in popups).  I just want them
to stay on the screen . . .

It's just insane that there's no notion of a current screen . . .
