in the 0.32 version it only could activate interfaces that were already
in the config files (i.e: you may press "apply" and start the
interface), in the current CVS code now it asks for applying and
activating an interface when creating a new one

> 2) What the app does when I click the validate button for quitting

the "apply", "cancel" and "ok" buttons work just like the HIG tells them
to do:
- the "apply" button applies the xml to the config files
- the "cancel" button closes the tool and reverts any apply, leaving the
config as if the tool wasn't opened
- the "OK" button applies config and closes the tool

> 3) Do you have an idea of the broken Xserver

Hmmm, the only network setting that could somewhat break the X server is
changing the hostname, check that you're managing this tag correctly and
that it's changing to what and when you expect. sorry, I've got no other
clues without looking at the code...

No, this is not neccesary :)
