Hmm, I don't know of any revision of either DCWorkflow (or
of CMFDefault.DefaultWorklfow) which added the action ID to
the mapping for the action;  the 'portal_actions' interface
for ActionProvider requires only 'name', 'url', 'permissions',
and 'category'.  The actions tool *does* add 'id' to the
dictionary for actions fetched from the type object, but that
isn't very useful unless *all* actions have the ID.

What do you want to do with the action ID?  Perhaps we can
suggest a workaround?
