Description
I've found that on Windows 7, after disabling (in the plugin manager) the plugins which you can see in the attached screenshot, they are not removed from the plugins menu (or from the toolbar in the case of the zonalstatistics plugin) until I restart QGIS.
The same thing does not occur on Windows XP.
Is this a problem with these particular plugins, or with something else?

That is not a QGIS bug - it is a problem of individual plugins. They should properly implement unload() method that removes all the stuff that plugin creates (menus, buttons on toolbars, ...) It would be good to notify plugin authors.

Great, thanks.
I have notified the makers of each of those plugins.

Thanks a lot for notice about 'Google Layers'. My idea is to drop 'Google Layers' in favor of 'OpenLayers plugin' which is doing the same thing much better. Ivan

Thanks for the notice. Visibility Analysis plugin has been updated for the changes (to 0.1.0).

Great, thanks for letting us know. Michael Minn informed me he has updated MMQGIS as well.

Yes, I agree it is generally better to have one tool instead of several, and make it work really well.
Unfortunately there is currently a major problem with Openlayers, which might force people to stick with Google Layers (#3978), but hopefully it will get fixed...
