I did my C++ enum just like that and it did not work at all. After some 
fighting and testing all combinations of foo.bar that I could think of on the 
QML side I have up an rewrote it to not need the enum on the QML side. There's 
a chapter "Extending QML from C++" (or similar, my Assistant currently doesn't 
seem to show any QML docs at all (bug report added)) where the information 
from the tutorial would perhaps fit better?
