the very first thing I tried before writing this question, to wrote a 
stop function with a button which sets a varialbe to TRUE. (true for 
..yeah..aborting please)

This variable in the main working function loop (which is by defauft at 
the beginning FALSE) ckeckes frequently this variable and loops only 
when it's set to FALSE.
Therefore when I push the 'abort' button, the value from  the variable 
becomes TRUE in the stopfuction ( a global variable)..when this stop 
function has finished (it got executed because I have this in my main 
working function: (while(g_main_iteration(FALSE));) the main working 
function gets continued again, but this time the variable is TRUE, so 
it finished and return.

Well, I guess it's not good described above. Anyway this seems to work 
fine at my second attempt now :-) (the first time, I must have made 
serious faults, and I thought I need to do some complicate 
'thread-stopping' stuff and similar, but it seems it's not necessary :-))

Anyway  my question is answered now.
