I think the reply was to trap for suspendStack in your apps, save the current 
selection and selectedObject, then trap for resumeStack and set it again. It's 
the only way I've found to do it. It's a pain, but not difficult to implement. 
I agree that the selection for a stack should not deselect when switching to 
another stack or app. I suppose then that the selection should be a stack 
property instead of a global one, but I don't see how they could change it now.
