I can now reliably unload my plugin but I cannot add it back again. I hit this GType problem. My plugin (actually some of the libraries it relies on) use GTypes. So, of course, they register them. When reloaded, the attempt to register them again fails (and generates warning messages). But the functions for the type are now associated with code which has been unmapped from memory! So, when I use one of the types it crashes. As there is no way (that I am aware of) for GTypes to be unregistered, or to be reregistered, is there some way for me to stop hildon-home actually unmapping my code? At least that would mean that the plugin could be re-added to the desktop, although no newer version would be usable until a reboot. This seems to be an unsolvable problem: no desktop plugin can use (or use a library which uses) GTypes! Am I missing something?
