I think sleep would be cool!

I have been working on getting the program bank changes to work in the 
matrix editor:

I added comment with arrows like this to illustrate my issue:

<-----

I am trying to pass a pointer for MatrixView to eventually call 
MatrixView's getCurrentSegment() method for creating an EventView.

I was able to get the Insert Event Dialog to open by passing a null 
segment but it crashed when I submitted it.

So I am trying to pass the pointer to MatrixView so I can use it in this 
function:

http://pastebin.com/m22eeb96b

The problem is that once I changed my KAction to accommodate the calling 
of a different slot so I could pass a parameter the new slot is never 
called. I am not sure why.

So the long and the short is the old KAction fired the dialog but not 
segment was passed:

new KAction(i18n("Add Program Change"), icon2, Key_F9, 
RosegardenGUIApp::self(), SLOT(slotProgramChangeSelected()), 
actionCollection(), "program_change");

But the new KAction does nothing:
 new KAction(i18n("Add Program Change"), icon2, Key_F9, this, 
SLOT(slotProgramChangeSelected()), actionCollection(), 
"program_change"); //<----- This KACtion does not seem to work

which calls this:
void MatrixEraser::slotProgramChangeSelected()
{
      //<----- This method is created to allow for the passing of the 
parameter to the slot because apparently a menu click cannot pass a 
parameter.
      printf("Inside MatrixEraser::slotProgramChangeSelected()");
      RosegardenGUIApp::self()->slotProgramChangeSelected(_parent);
}

I am open to a different way to get the segment all together if you have 
any ideas!

Thanks!
