I called the SuitCase folks to ask about this and Pyro not auto-blacking
under multi-finder.  Suitcase does let you open additional DAs if you
are just using finder, but not in "multi-tasking environments" like switcher,
servant, multi-finder.  Something about contention for the DA menu.  This
is stated in the manual, and I was told they hope to remove this "restriction".

My biggest gripe was that Pyro! could not be told to auto-black in
multi-finder.  It notices that there ate tasks "not-idle" and does not
auto-black.  They indicated they are working on making Pyro! "multi-finder
aware".
