Jim,
You nailed it!
It was a stupid coincident that the Fedora test case didn't work out.
I tried it with the first code example, which was wrong anyway.
Repeated it with the second one and the Fedora test worked out ok.
You're comment on unity made me feel....stupid i didn't think of that myself :-)
So, it worked all along, "hidden" by unity in the global menu. I don't
even like the global menu!
Greetz,
Fred
