if you install them to /var/lib/install/ (like installed with the AI) they show
up correctly but fail to start with an error message. The example home plugin
seems to suffer from this effect too, so i guess that problem is releated to the
loading application or the documentation and not to the plugin itself. See bug
#297 in bugzilla.

Greetings
