No, but if I try to import it in the console I get something revealing:
>>> import python-fu-vanderwalt
  File "<input>", line 1
    import python-fu-vanderwalt
                 ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> 

I would not be suprised if python objects to minus signs in module names,
so I have fixed that in my push script:

% cat push.sh
  cp python-fu-vanderwalt.py ~/.gimp-2.4/plug-ins/python_fu_vanderwalt.py
  chmod +x ~/.gimp-2.4/plug-ins/python_fu_vanderwalt.py
  cp python-fu-vanderwalt.py ~/gimp/gimp-2.4.7/plug-ins/pygimp/plug-ins/python_fu_vanderwalt.py
  chmod +x ~/gimp/gimp-2.4.7/plug-ins/pygimp/plug-ins/python_fu_vanderwalt.py

Still, it does not appear in the Xtns browser or <Image>/Filters/Render.

Maybe it has to be Capitalized , as in the script...

Nope.  That"s not it; I just tested for that, but it is something
REALLY STUPID.  <it>Je garantir.</it>
