Sometimes the Distributed Composite Actor Options (DCAO) dialog doesn't come up
when it should, and sometimes it appears when it shouldn't. Also, I'm not clear
on if the text in the alert that appears when it refuses to come up (shown
below) is correct.

In master-slave, drag out a DistributedCompositeActor.
If you right-click on the DistributedCompositeActor, and select Distribute this
actor, you get an Alert:
---
'Distribute this actor' is not available for actors of type:
org.kepler.distributed.DistributedCompositeActor. Only TypedCompositeActor and
CompositeActor can be distributed
---
Yet if you double-click on it, you're able to bring up the DCAO dialog.


Also, if you drag out a CompositeActor, and double-click on it, you get the
usual Edit Parameters dialog. If you right-click 'Distribute this actor', you
get the DCAO dialog. A subsequent double-click on the actor and now instead of
the Edit Parameters dialog, the DCAO dialog appears. A subsequent right-click
'Distribute this actor' and now you get the Alert message saying you can't.
