Unfortunately, no, the effective rect of a stack is the same as the rect - the interior dimensions of the stack.
As I recall prior posts to this list and elsewhere, I seem to recall that a property/function to provide the outer bounds of a stack window does not actually exists in LC 5.5.3 or earlier. Until something is added to future LC engines, I guess I'll just need to do the math myself.
