Oh, dear me! Not thinking laterally again?! Thanks.

Having now seen the full array of Action classes, I no longer think it's 
possible to do what I wanted to do. It's not too bad though; I just got rid 
of the menu delay so you always have to click twice but don't have to wait 
for the second click.

I wonder if this would be a useful feature though? I have a restart button in 
my toolbar to restart daemons, but it leads to three possible restart actions 
(restart, reload, and conditional restart). I wanted the full, vanilla 
restart to be the default option, with all the choices available if you held 
the mouse down.

You can approximate this with the KToolBarPopupAction class you mentioned, but 
then you need to manage whether the actions are enabled or disabled yourself, 
and you lose the greying out, so the UI becomes a bit inconsistent.

Anyway, thanks for the help, Dominic.
