manually import snippet for gedit in ubuntu

Question

I am trying to import a new snippet into snippet plugin for gedit. But when i click on the 'import' button the screen freezes and am not able to click on the dialog. I looked online for a solutin and found out that it is a bug Looks like the bug is still not fixed as I am using ubuntu 9.04.

Does any one know how to import a snippet manually into gedit's snippet plugin?

Snippets are stored globally in:

/usr/share/gedit-2/plugins/snippets/

or user specific in:

~/.gnome2/gedit/snippets
