Guppi follows the gnome conventions in this matter.

Architecture-independent files (like images and glade files) go under
PREFIX/share/APP_NAME.

Architecture-dependent files, like plug-ins, go under
PREFIX/lib/APP_NAME.


This discussion has motivated to me make two (simple) changes to
Guppi:

(1) I'll add a way to adjust the Guppi search paths from the
    .guppirc file.  That you can't do this already is an oversight on
    my part.

(2) If guppi failed to load any plug-ins on start-up, it should
    terminate with some sort of helpful message.  Since all
    functionality resides in plug-ins, there is no point in going on
    at that point.
