I suspect that would explain the double release problem. I don't
suppose there is some sort of adjustment on it to change the
throw ratio between the two cables?

I don't think so, funny enough the part that screws into the camera release
is somewhat adjustable, but that doesn't change the length of the
center-part that comes out. 
It is only 6mm when the release is fully pressed.

The second one, that goes into the bellows to close the aperture, comes
out before the camera side, and extends a full 12mm ...

My other cable release extend an amazing 22mm wich trips the
LX shutter easily.

Maybe I'll open the double-release hand-grip to see if I
can change it a little there.

I would love to use it on the LX since that is the body
best suited to Bellows work because of MLU and
superior long exposure capabilities.

I use two seperate cable releases now, wich works but is
a bit clumsy!

No, though my own preference is for the Pentax ones.

I noticed a while ago that the double cable-release that
came with my Pentax Pentax Auto-bellows does NOT work
correctly with the LX. The shutter is not activated at all ...

It works perfectly on my MX, and another 3rd party cable release
works fine on the LX.

Any experiences?

The remote electric shutter release that can be used with the LX Winder
is great. When shooting birds in my yard, I can stand fifteen feet
behind the camera and just click them off. And the shutter seems
smoother when tripped by the winder than it does when tripped with a
standard cable on the shutter release button.
