Title: Lots of updates/fixes/enhancements and working good on Ubuntu 11.10

I have made it to work on Ubuntu 11.10 for my personal use (I use it on two computers and it seems mostly fine).

In addition I have added some handy configuration parameters (like "add extra time") and implemented a cool chores system, essentially, users can buy time if they contract some chores or make promises (this is up to administrator to decide how to mark them finished and how many of them to allow). It is really good way to motivate children to do other cool things besides using the computer and it's definitely much better than just forcing time limit, because it's more dynamic, educational, compromising etc etc.

Anyway, I will be probably updating the code more and more, but it might be smart to merge those major changes to main branch at some point.
