I installed Python 2.6.6 - 32bit on a PC HP Elite 7100 with i7-860 processor (64-bit) and the other necessary software components according to the install pyton Fu tutorial on this web site. After that I installed gimp 2.6.11. I see the Menu-Item Python-Fu under Filters after start of gimp. But if I klick on Python-Fu, the Python-Fu Panel doesn't open (at least not visible). I can see that the mouse cursor changes for a short time but no visible result. Did somebody have the same problem?

Start Gimp from a command prompt/shell terminal session with the --verbose parameter and see if you see things in the output.

By the way it's all running under windows 7 professional (64 bit) Start in verbose mode brings the following response:

Gnagflow - don't know if you're reading new entries after 6 days or solved the problem without putting a new post but I ran into the same problem this morning and I found a solution. There is a bug in pygtk 2.22 which prevents the GIMP extension from working - after a lot of reading and experimenting I decided to revert to pygtk 2.16 - I selected the one with glade although I don't believe that would make a difference. Other people had made some useful plugins work with pygtk 2.16 so I thought it might be a new bug. My procedure was to delete everything under C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages
Then I installed pygtk-2.16.0+glade.win32-py2.6.exe then pygobject-2.26.0.win32-py2.6.exe then pycairo-1.8.10.win32-py2.6.exe
I did not re-install GIMP or restart the PC - done that at least ten times today. Now Python-Fu console window opens and I can import gimpfu - plugins should work now but I did not test it yet. Hope that this is helpful.

I'm on Linux so I can't help much, but in the plug-ins directory, besides pyconsole.py, I have:
pyconsole.py, py-slice.py, python-console.py, python-eval.py . Have you got these?

Thank you for the hint. For me it works now fine too. I had pygtk 2.22 installed. Now with pygtk-2.16.0+glade.win32-py2.6.exe it works fine. What a relief! I didn't look in gimpusers.com for a long time because I had other things to do.
