Tim:
Parts of Evolution are always running when logged in. You may have had to log out and in again to get Evolution to load new plug-ins.
Patrick O'Callaghan:
Not necessary. Just run "evolution --force-shutdown" and restart it.
I thought there was something like that, but mine didn't provide the info about it.

I still don't know if you need to do that to recognise a new plug-in, though. There is a plug-in manager in the edit menu. They might want to look through that.
