From a user's prospective, having to shut down an application
so another could start is not very friendly. Do we need an
tool to force a logoff/unlock/reset/... so a user could start
an operation with another application, without having to shutdown
the first?

With the mini-driver, Windows login will keep keep the mini-driver
loaded, not sure what state the card is in, so it also needs to be
looked at.
