 After reading TN 180 about the MultiFinder I've found that this switching
works through a mouseDown-event in the menubar. When I encountered the
problem I hadn't implemented any OpenDeskAcc()-stuff. But I still can't 
understand why it *did* work, when I didn't call AddResMenu() with 'DRVR' 
(There were no problems when I called it with other rsrc-types (e.g. 'FONT').)


Moral: Read the TechNotes, esp. #180.
