Here's a better trace from the app start to the call to 
Preferences.getUserRoot().  I don't understand why the bringing up a 
window results in the Preferences object being referenced.  My app is 
not ready to build the user Preferences nodes since it has no clue who 
the user is yet.

Any suggestions on how I might skirt this?
