I, too, find this an annoyance.  I had't tried clicking on the
associated windows to activate the stack window.  I tried to
cut some data from a text handling da and then paste it into
a new address card.  The only thing is, I couldn't bring the
stack window to the front.  The same thing with the alarm
clock (Apple's).  (Since JClock doesn't work on the mac II
I'll generally put up the alarm clock in the upper right hand
corner of the screen and just let it run deactivated.)  I'll
have to try clicking on the message window ...
