In 3.3 legacy actions (like SAVE) don't fire command execution events 
... only using the keybinding will.

In 3.4 we added extra legacy support so clicking the button should also 
fire the same kind of events.

In 3.3 the other way around (in an RCP app, anyway) is to turn the 
SaveAction into a handler and make Save in the menu and toolbar a 
command contribution.
