Comment(by nacin):

 Now that I look at it, I'm finding some quirks in the code. Running
 WP_DEBUG, we have some notices that prevent redirects from executing, but
 that's not the main quirk.

 Check a post, then select "Edit" in the top select box, and "Trash" in the
 bottom drop-down. Now click the bottom Apply button. It should trash a
 post, but instead it does a form submission that makes it think a bulk
 edit occurred.

 This is rather easy to fix -- we can check for which submit button was
 pressed, then use the corresponding select box. (Right now, we simply
 check if the top select box ! -1, use the top, else use the bottom.)

 This belongs in another ticket and I will handle that, but first it would
 be good to know if there is traction to re-work it so "Edit" can be the
 default. (Either way, perhaps we should code it so you could easily remove
 "bulk actions" via JS if you so desired.)
