Well, juggling around the instructions (i.e., calling the
cControl::Shutdown() after the Skins.Message or after the
SetPrimaryDevice, having previously removed the call to
cControl::Shutdown() in MakePrimaryDevice) sometimes it works, sometimes
it doesn't, so it's most probably a timing issue. If so there's no easy
way out. I can live with this problem, it seems ActualDevice it's only
used by some plugins (e.g. femon).
