So you don't have any plugin in ~/.elisa-0.5/plugins/ ?

If you are running elisa from a development branch in
~/development/elisa/elisa-current, then only the plugins in
~/development/elisa/elisa-current and those in ~/.elisa-0.5/plugins/
should be used. The official install should not be taken into account in
this case.

You shouldn't do that, what I meant is only removing all eggs from
~/.elisa-0.5/plugins/.
