Are you sure? When did this change? A few months ago I had a situation where the plugin installer updated gdaltools or ftools (or maybe both), and then later when I got a newer built-in version, at startup it would complain that an older version in my user directory was masking the built-in version, and tell me to uninstall the old version.
