How to use a custom approval workflow (Copy of default)

Question

I need to customize the default 2010 approval workflow and I would prefer not editing the build in. I have made a copy of the workflow as described here: How to Copy an Approval Workflow and Retain Its Custom Task Form

Now! How on earth do I choose to start the newly created custom approval workflow? I have published it as a new global workflow (As the changes I will be making is needed globally). I have the option to "Start Custom Task Process" from a 2010 workflow, while that does look like an approval workflow it's mostly empty and does not do even half of the build in does.

I can't seem to find anywhere I can specify to use the custom workflow.

Ok I've searched high and low and it seems you can't start your own approval workflows from another workflow. Which in my case makes it anything but reuseable. Instead I've created a custom task action and rebuld the approval functionallity from button up.
