3) change MetaCard to work like HyperCard, but add a "preOpenCard"
message to support the old behavior.

4) add a "postOpenCard" message sent after all the redraws are done
(perhaps on the first idle message sent to the card), which would act
like openCard does in HyperCard.

What is your preference?

This may also be a problem with openStack, although we haven't seen
it yet. The same options should be considered.

We like 3,4. We have some cases where we do some stack geometry
management that would benefit from the same messages sent for
openStack (in addition to openCard).
