I did not expect a simple answer. ;-)
Just something to get started. In principle I think you should normally
not see more as five action entries and should (normally) not have the
possibility to select new entries to show when there are still more as
three entries shown.
I have my own function that checks an entry and put it at the end of the
list.
I personally would want to have to select the new to show entries. Most of
the time that would be the next entries, but not always.

Then I get something like:
* Actions [0/5]
- [ ] First action
- [ ] Second action
- [ ] Third action
- [ ] Fourth action
- [ ] Fifth Action
- Next actions [0/25]
- [ ] Sixth action
.
.
.
- [ ] Thirtieth action
So I do not see the total amount of actions. (At least not when actions is
in overview mode.) Or can that be solved?
