Hello again,
After some days of playing around I still haven't found a solution to
the problem. Indeed it seems a very tricky business.
It seems that \leftmargin is completely ignored:
\setlength{\leftmargin}{2pt}
or
\setlength{\leftmargin}{92pt}
do not change anything in the pdf-output.
The labels are still standing out/are not aligned with the leftmargin
of the main text.
Here's the whole relevant part of the preamble:
%correctly adjustment of covington examples
\renewenvironment{example}{%
\begin{examples}
\settowidth{\labelwidth}{(0.00)}
\setlength{\leftmargin}{92pt}
\item}
{\end{examples}}
Can you/someone help me?
Johannes

That isn't the case without the lines above.
You need to play with other list values such as \leftmargin.
Adjusting lists
can be a tricky business.
