Will do.

Concerning ufw, ekiga might need to ship an ufw config to open certain ports. Concerning vm stuff, I reported later that what happened is that Ekiga actually tried REGISTERing from two IP addresses concurrently, I don't see how sending two REGISTERs can ever be a good idea. > If Ubuntu is kind enough to provide a proxy for VoIP, it could work all > the times... The same apply to Empathy using protocols like SIP. What do you mean by Ubuntu and a proxy? You mean a proxy on some public servers in *.ubuntu.com? Not sure how it would help traversing firewalls and routers. > > - doesn't show v4l device name in setup wizard when listing audio and > > video input devices > The V4L API is deprecated since *years* in the kernel.

When I wrote "v4l" above, I was really thinking v4l2 as I didn't expect that a driver which was just merged in the mainline would still use v4l... but indeed I only installed libpt-2.3-plugins-v4l2 from ekiga's snapshots.

It might been in your SVN for so long, it's not what's used in the current version of the Ubuntu ekiga packages, and I could until now distinguish ekiga from gossip / empathy. :-/ > > - "Chat" menu to "Quit" is weird, probably not GNOME HIG compliant > It is compliant, see: > http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/menus-standard.html.en#the-file-menu > especially: > "If your application does not operate on documents, name this item for > the type of object it displays.

The Game example makes sense to me, but I still feel disturbed by Chat > Quit, especially since I don't use ekiga for "chat" but really for "calls" or "conferences", but I understand why you settled for Chat and put Quit in there. Still feels kind of weird to me. :-/ > > - "Account" menu in Accounts window doesn't look like a menu (no > > underscore); not easy to see where to add an account > This has been fixed, please test last package.
