gedit
I have the following packages installed:
geditgedit-commongedit-pluginsIn Ubuntu 12.04 with these packages installed all that was needed was to activate the terminal plugin and the press Ctrl+F9 to show the bottom panel. This isn't the case with Ubuntu 13.10 (Gedit 3.8.3) and I can't figure out how to do it.
gedit-latex in ubuntu repos works only with gedit-2.x, however ubuntu 11.10 comes with more recent gedit-3.x. Try to use this one https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/i386/gedit-latex-plugin/3.3.1-1~oneiric1
First, I'll answer the question about the specific plugins. gedit-developer-plugins is available in the official Ubuntu archive, and I'd suggest installing it from there.
clickconfig, on the other hand, unfortunately does not seem to have been ported to to Gedit 3 and is not compatible.
More generally, for Gedit 3 (which is in Ubuntu 11.10 and above) local plugins should be installed to ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins The .plugin file must be in that exact directory, sub-directories are not scanned. For instance, here's the file layout of mine:
$ tree ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins/
/home/andrew/.local/share/gedit/plugins/
├── markdown-preview
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── __init__.pyc
│ └── locale
│ └── fr
│ └── LC_MESSAGES
│ └── markdown-preview.mo
├── markdown-preview.plugin
├── reSt-preview
│ ├── __init__.py
│ └── __init__.pyc
└── reSt-preview.plugin
