Hallo group members.
Workaround that would for sure lead to proper solution is:
before running ekiga, run any software that would start up gconfd deamon.
I do this whith:
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome 

why is it so?
I use kde, and no software is probably started to initialize this deamon. 
That's the reason.

below there is short program that does the segmentation fault, the same as this 
rom ekiga.

#include <gconf/gconf.h>
int main()
{
  gconf_client_get_default();
  return 0;
}

Regards,
Pawel
