If you use Suitcase to open font/DA files on your server, these files are
continuously open - and so dragging the server icon to the trash won't log you
out. A shutdown or restart is the only way (short of going into Suitcase and
closing the files manually). I suppose anything else that keeps files open will
produce the same effect.
