Yes, I had done that.

This was the missing piece! I was missing the user name.
I actually included this in ip-up.local and it worked.
Now the windows appear. Thank you!
The only remaining problem is that pppstatus somehow seems to have lost
access to the ppp link. It says the link is not connected/off.
This does not happen if ip-up.local is not present/run and I run
pppstatus manually from a user-level konsole.
Any ideas out there? anyone?
