Followup: turns out there is no problem here ...

I was confused by what the following lines were telling me:
==========
INIT: gimp_real_restore
Skipping duplicate plug-in: 'D:\Program 
Files\GIMP-2.6\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\gap_plugins.exe'
Skipping duplicate plug-in: 'D:\Program 
Files\GIMP-2.6\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\gap_video_extract.exe'
Parsing 'C:\Documents and Settings\Alec\.gimp-2.6\pluginrc'
Querying plug-in: 'D:\Program 
Files\GIMP-2.6\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\pyconsole.py'

(gimp-2.6.exe:1408): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: gimp-2.6.exe: 
gimp_wire_read(): error
Initializing plug-in: 'D:\Data Files\Gimp-2.x_resources\plug-ins\pspi.exe'
==========
On closer examination I see that it is doing what it should - skipping 
the GAP related plugins in:
D:\Program Files\GIMP-2.6\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\ put there by the GAP 
2.4 installer and using instead the (newer) plugins gap_plugins.exe and 
gap_video_extract.exe found at:
Gap2.4 BugFix Files by =photocomix-resources 
http://photocomix-resources.deviantart.com/art/Gap2-4-BugFix-Files-77466242 
which I deliberately put in a separate location so I wouldn't lose them 
if installing a new GIMP-2.6.x version subsequently.

However I'm still confused by: "LibGimpBase-WARNING **: gimp-2.6.exe: 
gimp_wire_read(): error"
Does this indicate a real problem?

Googling [gimp_wire_read] I see a number of posts (apparently related to 
GTK and/or Python and mostly MAC related)
Searching Bugzilla for [gimp_wire_read] I find two hits:
(1) Bug 483502 -- Save as dialog comes up empty on second use
(2) Bug 551243 -- crash in GNU Image Manipulation Program: I had just 
clicked on "s...
Both: Product: gtk+ Component: GtkFileChooser Version: 2.12.x Status: 
UNCONFIRMED

Above are on Unix systems. I haven't seen any errors associated with 
above but wonder if the warning message in --verbose output indicates 
something just waiting to get triggered?
