Ok I found out, stacks does expand, but it is not as smooth as on windows, I do have to fast double click several times to get it to work.

It’s possible that this has something to do with the double-click speed  
set in your window manager.

Didn’t Sun’s Java / Gnome/KDE have a long standing pissing match where Java ignored the double-click speed of your window manager on Linux? This was due to Java only wanting to read your xrdb, and Gnome/KDE not wanting to write to the xrdb.

IIRC, the temporary fix was to do something like add:  
\*.multiClickTime: 500

to the file ~/.Xdefaults and run  
xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults
