The patches are for trunk only or for gnome-2-26 branch too? 
(Personnally, trunk only is ok for me too.)

They should be removed from win32/Makefile too, isn't it?

I would like to change:
+   VALUE "FileDescription", "Ekiga is a free Voice over IP phone"
to
+   VALUE "FileDescription", "Ekiga is a free Voice and Video over IP phone"

but phone is not good, what can we put instead?

(By the way, the desktop description should be changed too: "_Name=Ekiga 
Softphone" to what?)
