After a long discussion with Andreas on IRC we came to the conclusion that 
everything works as implemented. What i want is simply not implemented, i 
want an adhoc filter that does filter and then apply the action depending on 
the outcome of the filter. This is what i expected from the name of the menu 
entry which is Apply *Filter* Action and the way the filter actions are shown 
in the menu, this is the name of the filter as in the filter dialog where you 
can also define the conditions for the filter to match on. But since this is 
not implemented as i want it i'll hack on it this weekend and have hopefully 
a patch by tomorrow evening. I'll simply implement the matching before it 
conditionally executes the action. I'll implement it so that people who want 
the old behaviour can simply attach a bogus filter rule to it like size >= 0 
or so.

Greetings,
Otto
