that looks like a hen-egg problem.
in order to be able to call "plugin-dispatch", the gui-plugin has to 
register with the plugin-dispatcher... and in order to do that, it has 
to be loaded first (in which case you've already solved the problem).

or to put differently: "plugin-dispatch" is not a way to send arbitrary 
commands to the GUI.

also note that you probably shouldn't "source" the tcl-code directly, 
but instead use the 'load_plugin_script' proc (which adds some safety 
around the actual sourcing)
