This makes sense, but how many patterns, brushes and themes are 
there likely to be?  I agree that plugins and scripts are all just 
'plugins' to the end-user and shouldn't be differentiated.

The fact that this is the first gimp plugin in fedora reminds me 
that fedora is very weak in this direction - Perhaps an 'imaging 
SIG' is needed?
