in my book the guy does it all the time,  using pointer for the variables,
thought
its done to make some things easier...
The Widget for the keys isnt used anymore, i played arround with it a bit.

i n my  3rd mail i have a fixed version with for

i have more the the DATEN groups, already got it to display  all the keys

        device = g_key_file_get_string(crypto_keys, groups[i], "device",
NULL);
       mapper = g_key_file_get_string(crypto_keys, groups[i],
"mapperdevice", NULL);
       mountpoint = g_key_file_get_string(crypto_keys, groups[i],
"mountpoint", NULL);
       password = g_key_file_get_string(crypto_keys, groups[i], "password",
NULL);
       keyfile = g_key_file_get_string(crypto_keys, groups[i], "keyfile",
NULL);
       g_print("\n %s", device);
       g_print("\n %s", mapper);
       g_print("\n %s", mountpoint);
       g_print("\n %s", password);
       g_print("\n %s", keyfile);

g_print ("%s", g_key_file_get_string(crypto_keys, "DATEN", "mountpoint",

after some more playing arround i got the things good working, the reference
helps often, i have away from programming some time and never been to deep
in, so sometimes i do things wrong that other wouldnt.

Im so far with my code that i want to create a table where each group gets a
row that has labels, buttons and textentries.
right now im using a GtkTable where i create the Widgets in the for loop
that gets the content from the keyfile, is this possible or do I have to use
a treeview?
I can compile the app but get a segfault while running, it looks like this
with one static row http://az-lantech.de/ubuntu/view.png.


thx
