[Gtkradiant] Where to start plugin development?

Ok, I had a look at the sample and some other plugins. 
The plugins are all DLL/so files and there must be a function to register a
plugin. The plugin functionality is implemented with a class and it must be
a singleton?
I think I can use some of the plugins as a starting point. How can I
interface with the editor's GUI (and the "plugins" menu item)?
Is there *any* documentation about the editor internals? Maybe some doxygen
stuff?
If you have some time you could tell me how to add new geometry to the
editor :-)
I have not found a render()-method in the plugins :-/
How can I load textures/shaders?

I think, this will be enough :-)

Another short question: Can I build and use GTKRadiant on a AMD64 Linux
system?

Thanks for your help :-)

Greetings, Enrico
