Maintenance of generator plugins...

[Matthew Woehlke]

Ok, so I started work on the plasma generator (finally)... so far it's 
just a copy of, er, "example", but I got far enough in the template-ish 
changes to realize a few snags.

First (dumb one), can I rename "example" to "solid"? (This involves 
changing the strings in .desktop which aren't wholly accurate right now; 
what's the i18n-procedure there, do I delete the now-invalid translations?)

Second... the category right now for the solid-color generator is 
"random", which is probably non-optimal. But... I'm not sure what the 
best category names would be, so I'd like to solicit suggestions.

So far, my vision for generators is to have at least the following:

- solid color, gradient
- noise (literally, random pixels), perlin, plasma (similar to perlin)
- flame (apophysis is one IFS flame implementation, but I'll be adding 
other non-IFS, maybe-not-fractal equations like de Jong)
- lens flare, supernova (from GIMP)
- any other traditional filters that are not input-dependent

"Basic" is an obvious candidate. Most of the others are often grouped 
under "Render" in plug-in menus, so something more fine-grained is 
perhaps called for. "Noise" would be good, except is plasma "noise" or a 
fractal? What would "flame" be (since it might not be technically a 
"Fractal")?

Maybe use "Basic", "Render" (all noises and flame), "Effects" (flare, 
supernova), i.e. reserve "Render" for processes that have more math than 
macro-geometry and blitting?
