Ok, I added the functionality to CVS although not entirely based on your 
patch. There's no need to let all the info spill to 
add-control-dialog.c. The checks can more easily be performed in the 
function that generates the list. I also added a check that removes 
uninstalled plugins.

Please test to see if it works for you and doesn't do anything bad.

Thanks a lot,
