Sorry for that, the startup-problem with unicode is not relevant, since it 
only occurs on my notebook, not on the computers, the pupils are using 
(ubuntu gutsy).

This might have happened, but I guess they won't remember this. I'm 
pretty sure they did something like this. On the 
other hand, I've encountered this with five or six projects now. The only 
errors I was told about were the duplicate-selector-errors when saving.

What I could imagine is that the pupils messed up variables and scripts, 
for example they might have created a variable and a script with the same 
name and have deleted the variable at some point.

No.

ubuntu Linux is using utf-8, not latin-1

Bert is right about 'Öffentlich' (public, uppercase)) which is a folder 
every user has in his home-directory by default. But as I wrote before, 
the startup-problem is specific to my notebook.
