This sounds like you started the gmBMIWidget plugin standalone and thus
a logfile is created with the same name as the plugin.  This is intended

Hmmm, the only thing I wonder about is that the logfiles are not "hidden"
in the hidden directory ~/.gnumed .  If this is not the case I would
consider this as a bug and will have a look into it.

Yes.

This is a question of philosophy.  Karsten prefers per user logfiles.
I personally would prefer logfiles that are writable by users in a
group gnumed on a common place like /var/log/gnumed.

Kind regards
