Hmmm, I was not aware that lcStackbrowser saved its state to itself. I agree that's a bad idea. It did at a very early release but I had requests to change that behavior and, unless I missed something along the way, all data that needs to be preserved between launches is saved in external files.
Off to look at the code to see if I can spot what I missed, but there is one area that I have no control over. If a user decides to change the plugin settings in some way, LC stores those settings in custom properties of the stack and, I think, immediately saves the stack.
