Exactly. And it's not only Linux, it's on any OS really (and worse on
some. eg. OSX due to flat global namespace).

Please, never ever use a toolkit that does not allow statically linking
plugin-UIs (or plugins in general).


      Plugins should be self-contained


..and not expose symbols, except for the entry point.

A single plugin + host can already be problematic; but multiple
dynamically linked plugins and hosts, and subtle runtimer linker
differences depending on platform, and compile + link + runtime library
differences) is worse than herding cats.
