I followed instructions on:

http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnumeric/doc/sect-extending-python-writing.htm

However, I put the files in ~/.gnumeric/<version>/plugins/myfuncs/

instead because that's more similar to the way it's done in:

   /usr/lib/gnumeric/<version>/plugins/

Anyway, it seemed to work because selecting:

   Tools|plug-ins...|directories

showed:

   /usr/lib/gnumeric/1.6.1/plugins
   <my-home>/.gnumeric/1.6.1/plugins
   /usr/lib/goffice/0.1.2/plugins

However, the Plugin directory: field at:

   Tools|plug-ins...|Plugin Details

wouldn't show any input despite typing in the field.  Should it?

Also, when I selected the f(x) (i.e. Edit a function in current cell),
then the Category, Local Python, and then the sole entry, py_add,
the Description showed:

   Incorrect Function Description.

   Incorrect Function Description.

The same showed with Category, Python, was selected and any entry
was selected.  Should this be a bug?
