I will change this for 0.2, thanks :)

So it seems this (and the oprofiled log reader error) stem from the 
defaults section of `opxml info` not being read/set properly. As to why, 
I'm puzzled.. Are all the paths in the defaults section correct?

What version of Gentoo/kernel/Eclipse/oprofile etc are you running? 
Perhaps I'll try to reproduce it in a VM.

Could you perhaps check out the plugin from svn HEAD and run the tests?

(you will probably have to rebuild opxml again, I've opened a bug to 
have opxml built with an appropriate version of glibc for 0.2)

Thanks,
