Yes I had thought about that but I fear this would make it rather complex. If mod authors really want to change the layout they could always script that OnShow of their start menu.

Alternatively you can require mod authors to use scripting and strip the plugins down to the bare minimum, namely something like this:

<Data MenuText="gm9's plugin" MenuAction="camp desktop" IconSource="cool_image.dds" IconSourceRect="1,10,1,10"/>

Makes it more difficult than most people will care though I guess.

If it does not work, you likely installed it incorrectly. Always try a clean install before reporting bugs.
