right. so this will do:

!g_file_test(filename, G_FILE_TEST_IS_REGULAR) || g_file_test(filename,
G_FILE_TEST_IS_SYMLINK) || !g_pattern_match_simple("*.so", filename) ||
g_pattern_match_simple("*lib.so", filename)

the lib.so test is there so we dont load files that end with *lib.so
which are library plugins (like the kdepim_sync.so and kdepim_lib.so files)
