plugin page hooks and actions confusion

[m0n5t3r]

admin_head.php relies on the existence of the variable $page_hook to determine the name of the action to execute; however, $page_hook is always set in admin.php, causing admin_head.php to ignore actions like admin_head-my_plugin/page.php.

the attached patch contains one of the solutions; the other one is to unset($page_hook) in admin.php if empty

it would also be interesting to know why we have 2 action naming schemes, one like admin_head-some/file.php and another one like admin_head-management_page_file (i'm not sure it isn't a feature ;)

plugin page is the old scheme. page hook is the new one. plugin page is only around for back compat.

hmm, after digging a bit more through the source, it looks like the plugin pge hooks weren't intended for direct use, anyway; feel free to close this if you feel it's useless
