Impossible to clear list of recently active plugins

[caesarsgrunt]

It is no longer possible to clear the list of recently active plugins, in WP2.7-haemorrhage (trunk). This is caused by the new 'Actions' dropdown (which I don't like, BTW, though I understand the reasons for it) overriding the previously-set $action variable.

Patch attached.

Patch for issue described.

This won't work if the value of $_REQUESTaction? is ever 0, '0', or an array - but I don't think it ever is.

[caesarsgrunt]

Ooops. I hate automatic linking.
That should have been $_REQUEST['action'].

[santosj]

This will cause a notice if $_REQUEST['action'] doesn't exist. The isset check is there to ensure that the key index exists before checking. The correct patch will add the !empty() check after the isset() check.

[caesarsgrunt]

Patch which checks isset and !empty to avoid notices.

[caesarsgrunt]

Yes, of course. Sorry about that. This should be OK, I think.
