What Env Variable set when saving standalone?

I might not have been clear. You'd keep the login stack a toplevel stack 
all the time. In whatever handler actually launches that stack, you'd 
check the environment and only open it as modal if the environment is 
"standalone".

During development the login stack is toplevel. It should be able to 
retrieve db info normally in that mode. The reason you want a modal is 
so that users can't click away until the data loads, but as the 
developer you'd know not to do that. You'd just wait for the data and 
then proceed normally.

Seems like the simplest solution to me. A toplevel stack won't hinder 
development or standalone builds, and it will show up as modal if the 
environment is "standalone" (or if it's not "development", or whatever 
other test you want to apply.)
