Bug#785243: pluma: Plugins not executable?

[Andreas Schmidt]

Package: pluma
Version: 1.8.1+dfsg1-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

if I go to Preferences/Plugins in Pluma, there are a couple of plugins I cannot
activate -- they just get grayed out. Here is the list:

- External Tools
- Python Console
- Quick Open
- Snippets

I can activate the plugin "Tag list", but I suppose it is not working as it
cannot be configured (button "Configure Plugin" is grayed out) and there is
nothing to find about it in any menu.

Is there anything I have missed to get the plugins working? Also, I remember
that gedit had a quite useful plugin to comment out/uncomment lines of code
from different programming/scripting/mark-up languages. Is there any chance to
get such a plugin again?

Thanks for your help!

Andreas
