Hi,

Craig already answered most of OPAL/PWLIB related questions, so I will
answer the rest.

It should be marked as OPAL bug. However, nobody ever reported such a
problem in our bugtracker, and believe me that when there is a bug in
Ekiga, we have dozens of bug reports... So I really think the problem is
elsewhere.

Try providing a -d 4 trace.

It will change in the future.

I don't see this as an Ekiga option.

It could be a nice idea, yes.

It has not be reintroduced yet. The new layout will stay, unfortunately
for you. But I can tell you you will like it when you will know its
purpose ;-)
