Woke up quite late (as usual) today, since i could really sleep early last night because of the severe headache. Then:

  1. Took my class of "Linux System Admin.". Mostly repeated the material of the last two days and some new things like changing the permissions of files. But they needed to be taught Unix permission concepts first.

  2. Back home, did some rest, had tea, watched TV for a while and finally had my dinner at 10 pm.

  3. Tried some other Internet connections. pppconfig works in a quite strange Darwinian fasion: some times it works, sometimes it does'nt. All you can do is create, change and delete accounts again and again. Finally it would work and that is the instance, you should stop playing with pppconfig and let it be. After that you shall live the rest of your life happilly with pon/poff.

  4. Hacked gnu-robots a bit. I could'nt understand what should be done in case of an error in the constructor of my [g]object. I tried the following: 

    if (errors) { 
   g_object_unref (obj);
   return NULL;
}

    While g_object_unref did'nt seem to be a prob. but returning a NULL caused the gobject-system to segfault. I've asked to help on this at the gtk+-devel list but for the moment i fixed the problem by having the errors var. inside the object struct and checking on it in my _new function.
