right. But I hope to make it only two "contexts" within the app. So in the 
left corner there is essentially two buttons that will take you to default 
page in each "context" (namely the "Phoenix Console" button and the 
"Application" button). 

I hope to have one level depth in each "context" and thus there is no real 
need for a stack in that way.

Maybe. But I specced it and the only real case I can come up with is when I 
would customarily popup a dialog box in a heavy GUI app. And those dialogs 
always return to last screen ... and thus I wouldn't put them in the "nav 
stack".

Anyways off to start hacking on it now
