Yes, the name generator_smoke.so is used on purpose, since it's a plugin and 
not a real shared library. QLibrary (with which the generator is loaded) tries 
all possibilities, including generator_smoke.so. I don't have a clue why it 
doesn't work for you, but on my machine it does. What revision and what distro 
do you use?

Plasma_smoke hasn't yet been converted to use smokegenerator yet.
