> Maybe I'll try building the latest ekiga from sources...

After a snag or two, I was able to build ekiga from the latest sources
and get it working.

You, of course, need a bunch of devel packages installed. I had to add:

gnome-doc-utils libv4l-devel alsa-lib-devel avahi-devel
avahi-glib-devel dbus-glib-devel libXv-devel GConf2-devel
libxml2-devel libsigc++20-devel gtk2-devel expat-devel

and I also needed to explicitly specify --enable-v4l on the configure
for ptlib to get everything together, but, that done, it seems to
work. So I'm now going to guess that the original problem is something
about how it's built in SL/TUV.

A tip o' the hat to Eugen over on the Ekiga mailing list for the
necessary clues.

Now to deal with some network issues...

One bad apple doesn't spoil the whole bunch - but it sure makes you
look closer at the rest of them
