It would be great to be able to set up a view that lists userspecific data inside of node profiles. E.g. when I click on the content type/node profile "list of posts of type x" under user John, I get a list of all post of type x that user John has done. I tried out but it currently does not seem to be possible to tell a view to just display data according to the user ID inside of a usernode/node profile. Maybe this is an issue for views?

yep, that should be doable by using the appropriate argument for views..

Well this is good news. Thanks for pointing this out. I had posted this issue in the forum before and nobody answered which is always a good indicator that I was asking something totally obvious and stupid. I've tried to figure out how this argument-thingy works though before and read the article in the handbook. I just didn't get it. I'll try it again and maybe I can sort it out this time. If I find the solution I can post a little how-to here.

maybe I can help you a bit to get started:
In your usernode template use:

$user = usernode_get_user(node_load($nid));
//then $user->uid is the uid of your user
//build a view that lists content like you desire and choose the argument: Node Author Uid
//then call your view and give it the uid as argument, e.g.:

print views_view_page('your_views_name', $user->uid);
