I guess you never really used Ekiga? did you? Ekiga is nowhere near user friendly, am not even sure it is HIG compliant. It doesn't have any ICE support last time I checked, which in other words means that it will never work reliably in a NATed/Firewalled environment (which let me remind you is the most common case with the proliferation of home routers). Pidgin on the other hand is definitely not HIG compliant, and even the library behind Pidgin (libpurple) is unusable, we can have a very long discussions about this, but I guess this is not the main topic here. -- Ali _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
