Public bug reported:

The plug-ins path (Edit | Preferences, Folders | Plug-Ins) has two
entries:

/home/user/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins
/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins

However, nothing in the first entry is picked up. For example, running
Filters | Python-Fu | Console:

GIMP 2.6.12 Python Console
Python 2.7.3 (default, Aug  1 2012, 05:14:39) 
[GCC 4.6.3]
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins', '/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/python', '/usr/lib/python2.7', '/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gst-0.10', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntu-sso-client', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-client', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-control-panel', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-couch', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-installer', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-storage-protocol']
>>> 

Only the /usr/lib/gimp/... location appears to be used, whih means I
can't install my own Gimp plugins under my home directory. This is
contrary to expectations.
