I think the shadowed parts do look perfectly right.

It is light leaking and it gets even worse when using higher quality 
(i.e. lower error_bound) settings. I guess the only solution is to 
remodel the room and give the walls and the ceiling some real thickness, 
thats what I did. As with CSG where it is a good idea to let walls and 
ceiling overlap.

When you add no_radiosity to all window/door glasses you'll get away 
with 2 recursions and faster render speed - without any visual impact.
And I'm not sure about this low adc_bailout within the radiosity block, 
if such low value is needed shouldn't it go into the global settings 
block itself - to keep the photons visible?
Maybe Christoph can shed some light on this.
