You can set paths in the preferences still.  I never tested whether GUI
plugins can be loaded from the user-set path because I didn't see a reason why
someone would want to do that.

As for the prefs pane for loading libs at startup, that is bad behavior that
should be discouraged.  Libs should be loaded in the patch using [import] or
[declare -lib].
