First of all, which version of SchemeScript and Eclipse are you using?

You have to change the extensions for the 'documentSetup' extension
point too (also in the plugin.xml file).

Are you using Eclipse 3.1? This problem has been reported by a
colleague of mine on 3.1. I'll look into it in the next couple of
weeks (I'll have to install 3.1 first...;-)

I don't have Kate installed. What do you mean by "tutti-frutti"? 


Thanks for your interest!
