Programmatically load/unload plugins and change settings in Gedit 3

We are building a plugin for Gedit 3 using python. The idea is to have preset configuration of plugins and configurations that you can load or unload. The problem is that we cannot seem to find any documentation that is usefull. Has anyone tried this? Is it doable?

All settings for gedit and gedit plugins can be modified using GSettings API along with Python introspection (PyGObject). Which plugins are loaded is at the key org.gnome.gedit.plugins.active-plugins. All of the gedit settings and plugin settings are also found under org.gnome.gedit, including some that are not present in the Preferences Dialog.

The easiest way to see these settings, is using the dconf-editor command to launch the Gnome 3 Configuration Editor. To change settings in a plugin, you'll use GSettings.
