I created a custom workflow activity (action) for SharePoint Designer. I deployed the assembly to the GAC, added the entry in the web.config file and created a .ACTIONS file in the 12hive (sub)folder. When I now open SPD and create a new workflow I can see my workflow action but when I select it the "sentence" is not shown. I checked it all but cannot find what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be highly appreciated!

I finally found the answer to this! Essentially I was updating the wrong web.config file; needed to update the one that sits on port 80.
For me this was here:
\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80
I was udpating the one here:
\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\CONFIG
Not sure why I picked that one; maybe because it was nearby the templates and other stuff I was editing.
