Hi,

sorry for the very late answer,

home is not dlclosing the plugins, because many plugins (including the
shipped ones) register GType. dlclosing the re-opening them results in
them trying to re-register the types, even though glib already knows
about them.

The same handle from dlopen is reused if the applet is reopened.
