If you call gimp_parasite_attach() with a parasite that has the persistent flag set, it will be saved to the parasiterc file and reloaded the next time you start up gimp. I can't think of any plugins that actually do this though... The downside of parasites is that they are loaded at startup and are always in memory. The parasiterc has the potential to grow indefinitely.
