According to the QAction documentation, this is wanted behaviour:

<quote>
visible : bool

This property holds whether the action can be seen (e.g. in menus and 
toolbars).

If visible is true the action can be seen (e.g. in menus and toolbars) and 
chosen by the user; if visible is false the action cannot be seen or chosen 
by the user.

Actions which are not visible are not grayed out; they do not appear at all.

Fortunately, I found a work around by using my already existing 
application-wide eventFilter() and trigger()'ing the actions if one of the 
short cut key sequence is recognized...

Have fun, René
