Does a QMainWindow, or an app based on, one contain a list of

I'm trying to add an action called "Settings" to my app. The
addAction() method silently fails unless I rename or misspell the
action, like "Foo" or "Setttings."
Actions named "Settings", "Preferences", "Configuration" all
silently fail.
Trying to find what names may already be claimed, my invocations
of the actions() method always return an empty list.
it would help if you posted a complete example that demonstrates
the problem. the above code snippet doesn't show the action being
added to anything. are you trying add actions to a menu in the
menubar, or are you trying to create a context menu?
I'm using addAction to add the action to the app's main menu.
See simple, running code sample attached. Note line 59. The
action's first arg is misspelled "Setttings." Using the correct
spelling, the action silently fails to be added to the menu.
sorry, but it works perfectly fine for me. that is, i changed the
spelling to "Settings...", and that's exactly how it appears in the
menu.
Very strange. I've double-checked that the code I emailed does not
work for me. I'm on OSX 10.5.8, Qt 4.5.2, and PyQt 4.5.4. I realize
I'm a few versions out of date.
what happens if you replace line 70 with:
print repr(self.fileMenu.addAction('Settings'))
<PyQt4.QtGui.QAction object at 0x7b618>
... and the file menu contains the entry, "Settings."
Thanks
