Ah, thanks. I reproduced that, and have checked in a fix, which  
hopefully will make it up to the download site soon. I'm guessing no- 
one had used that menu item in a while.

There is probably a way to do that, but I don't think the testing  
frameworks (there are more than one :o) were specifically designed  
with that in mind, so I'm not sure. Also, if we're talking about  
including it in OSAF's automated testing, it would take some work to  
make sure that the plugin is in fact loaded in the testing environment.
