Simplify preferences dialogs for plugins
With the Preferences window, I put a toplevel item called "PluginConfigDi
The idea was that, instead of having to have the full UI for a preferences window in each plugin, the plugin's .glade or .ui would only contain the UI elements that would go *in* such a window. The PluginConfigDialog could be reused by filling it with the appropriate preferences UI for the selected plugin, before showing it.
This would make plugin writing easier, and improve consistency across plugins. E.g. bug #529194 arose because there were differences in how plugin preferences windows were described across several GtkBuilder files.
Implementing this spec would require updating all plugins to support the new format.
