 * I’m not sure if this is intended, but when I had my plugin named xgallery.php
   and I added a hook to include the “xgallery.php” in wp-admin/ to the Manage tab,
   it error’d because it was the same name, it tried reloading the plugin file, 
   it worked fine once i made it xgallery-options.php in the wp-admin/ and changed
   the link in the hook

 * Doing it all in one file requires some special handling. function_exists() must
   be used to avoid defining the functions twice.

 * No thats not the thing, I had `wp-admin/xgallery.php` and `wp-content/plugins/
   xgallery.php`, when I set the plugin file to add `xgallery.php` to the admin 
   menu, and i clicked it, it tried loading up the `plugins/xgallery.php` instead
   of the `wp-admin/xgallery.php`

 * All plugins and plugin pages must be in the plugins directory or a subdirectory
   thereof. You can create an xgallery subdirectory in plugins/ and put xgallery.
   php and xgallery-admin.php in there.
