@fotocomix - I found the above reference a couple of days ago (I think 
by googling [python gimp plugin]. Just thought I'd comment on the need 
for reboots you stressed in your "IDIOTS NEVER READ THIS". Not sure if 
anything has changed in GIMP between 2.4 and 2.6.1. I already had 
Python25 and pygtk-2.12.1-2 but not the other two requirements.

<Image>Filters>Python-Fu>Console was NOT showing up.

I think all three of the packages have later versions since you created 
the ZIP so I got them. With Gimp closed I installed the two I was 
missing (pycairo-1.4.12-1, pygobject-2.14.1-1) and restarted GIMP. 
Python-Fu showed up this time :-)

No reboots were necessary.
