so then I guess plugins should load their own UI and install their own
glade files as well as any gconf schemas for settings they need to
create?

and how exactly is a plugin registered. is it simply a matter of
having the .so in the right folder or is there more to it?

once I finish coding this plugin ill whip up a wiki.
