You're right, but it works fine. I altered these two lines in etoys.sh:

---8X-----------------------
# editiert von Markus Schlager
#export SQUEAK_SECUREDIR="$TOP/.etoys"
#export SQUEAK_USERDIR="$TOP/Etoys"
export SQUEAK_SECUREDIR="$HOME/.etoys"
export SQUEAK_USERDIR="$HOME/Etoys"
---X8-----------------------

Meanwhile the plugin works, too. I had to alter these two lines in 
npetoysrun as well. That was all.
