Yep - I tried both my suggestions (with variations) and nothing
works.

It's hard to get inside what's going on, but the following:

    c = self.factory ().container ("recent", self, 1)

(where "recent" is the Action List name) seems like it should
return something, but it returns None. Not that it helps a lot, but
maybe it'll give an indication of the point of failure in the C++
code.

Yep - you'd have to update the KActionCollection each time too, or
KActions will accumulate with each change.

Not working here either. I have to leave for a while - I'll try
some other stuff when I get back. I'm going to check out some other
PyKDE stuff, but I don't think that's the problem.
