I've got a bug in the version of RGedit in ubuntu's repository and I want to install the latest version to see if this plays better with 13.04 somehow.
What do I do once I download the archive? Where do I put it? Do I need to uninstall the old version of rgedit that was installed via the "software center"?
FOR POSTERITY: If anyone else has the same problem, note that updating to the latest version of RGedit does not solve the problem with plotting.

From the README file on sourceforge:
To install, extract the RgeditXX.tar.bz2 archive somewhere and, depending on your gedit's major version, copy the contents of the resulting folder into to your ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins folder for gedit2, and ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins for gedit3. That folder should now contain:
- RCtrl (this is a folder)
- RCtrl.gedit-plugin
- RCtrl.py
- ReadMe.txt (this ReadMe.txt file)
If you installed the older verison through the software center, I'd recommend uninstalling it the same way before doing the above.
