may-be this is a problem with the internet connection: I use ISDN (and
not TV cable or xDSL with which you are connected whenever the PC
and Windows are on), BOINC says when it needs a connection but
not when I can close it (I don't let it close automatically by BOINC
because I like to use a connection for mail, news or web surf when
I have it) and I don't understand yet precisely what it is doing from
what is shown in the work and messages tabs of the BOINC manager.

You can let the WUs crunch, and if you are online, open the boinc manager and upload the WUs manualy.
But, look/search at the seti@home help desk forums. There was a lot of questions about the dialin with windows.

Nevertheless it seems that by now 1 SETI@home WU has been treated
completely and the result sent back to the server(s) because I found
it acknowledged in the SETI website. Another one seems to have
finished work and the upload must have begun, but it probably has not
yet finished with the upload process, because: 1. its comment in the
manager says "uploaded, ready to give the message" (free, may-be bad
translation from German, because I don't quite understand what the
German text itself means) 2. when the 1st WU got at last acknowledged,
its entry in the work tab of B. manager had disappeared, but for this
unit, it is still there. A third WU has reached 98 % ...

The completed wokunit in the work tab and the transfer tab will be updated, if you download a new WU or do a update project.

Question: how can I activate the SETI@home graphics ? I'd like to see
them from time to time (with classic, this was always the case at
upload-download time) but don't want to use always BOINC / SETI as
my screensaver ... is there a possibility to see the graphics without?

Yes. You can configure a other screensaver. The seti will compute in the background.
In the boinc manager you must select a WU and click to "show graphics"
