This script segment causes the window to flash.

  set the style of me to "topLevel"
  set the decorations of me to "default"

The flashing even happens in preOpenStack, which surprises me since the 
Transcript dictionary says it is executed before the stack window appears.

This also happens with with several variations of the above script.  
(Also the stack name shows up momentarily on the title bar even though 
there is a label in at least one variation.)

I saw workaround advice from Sarah back in April that suggested the 
changes can be made while the stack is invisible.  I will try this.  
Yet, because of the flashing I suspect I might be doing something wrong.

What is happening?  How do I get around this?
The flash happens whenever you set the decorations, which forces a 
window redraw. Not sure if there is a good workaround, since the OS is 
responsible for the drawing.

I get three or four flashes.  I need to see if setting the decorations 
cause all or whether the other sets also cause this.

I'll test that.  Doesn't the decorations have to come after the style?

The flash happens because Revolution needs to recreate the window and then
redraw with the new decorations.
