Just tested it, no it's not possible to add the same action to the action 
collections of two mainwindows. It has no effect in the second one.

And since KAction is a normal QObject with connections etc., and may have a 
set defaultWidget(), I guess it's not possible to just clone both, including 
all their active connections.
