Short answer - use triggered() instead of activated().

Longer answer...

I could reproduce the problem on Windows - but it's a Qt configuration
issue, not a platform issue.

activated() is part of the Qt3 support which is not enabled in the version
of Qt included in the Windows installer, but it is enabled on my Linux
system.

BTW, using the new connect API would have shown the problem immediately.
