Ok for some reason I was able to startup the system once without crashing, don't ask me how. Once up I re-installed Growl and uninstalled it right away as described in the video, and removed all other Growl-related files that I could find.

In already did remove some .plist files that had Growl in their name and checked "launchctl list" which is empty. Nothing helps. It is a windowserver issue but since I do not want to fix I do not care. Just get rid of it.
