CloseDeskAcc() works fine for me. If your desk accessory can't close
itself by calling CloseDeskAcc() on its own refNum, then that is probably
a symptom of some other bug in your code.  (Try setting the clock flag in
your own header before calling CloseDeskAcc. That should help keep it
around until it has a chance to process its own close message. Note the
section of the manual on keeping a d.a.'s data around even while it is
closed.)
