Help->About window displays not up-to-date active Python plugins list after activating/deactivating or installing/uninstalling plugins

What is the bug or the crash?

The Help->About window displays not up-to-date active Python plugins list after a plugin is activated or deactivated or installed or uninstalled.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. start QGIS and open the "About QGIS" window (Help->About)
2. observe the list of Active Python plugins

Active Python plugins
db_manager
0.1.20
grassprovider
2.12.99
MetaSearch
0.3.6
processing
2.12.99

3. close the "About QGIS" window
4. open the Plugin Manager (Plugins->Manage and Install Plugins...) and either activate a non active plugin e.g. the "Geometry Checker" plugin or deactivate an active plugin e.g. the "MetaSearch Catalog Client" plugin (the same issue occurs installing/uninstalling a plugin)
5. open again the "About QGIS" window (Help->About) and observe that the list of Active Python plugins incorrectly either doesn't list the "Geometry Checker" plugin or still list the "MetaSearch Catalog Client" plugin:

Active Python plugins
db_manager
0.1.20
grassprovider
2.12.99
MetaSearch
0.3.6
processing
2.12.99
