So, we should attempt to inform other people that they might also stumble 
over this problem.

In my opinion the FAQ is for short'n'sweet 1-2 line answers to a) frequent 
questions and b) how to find stuff in the docs in general.

This should probably also be in Manual::Intro, or wherever the "official" 
list of action types is (which imo should be in the manual alone, that 
should be supplimentary) ..
