Yes, any deeper knowlege would be helpful here. At the moment I am 
poking around. So far I found out that it is just a matter of time. If I 
put a  MessageBox which you have to click at the end of the Windows code 
Ekiga terminates under Vista properly. XP and 7Ultimate do not need that.
The overall picture is that Ekiga's main thread exits and ptlib and opal 
are supposed to clean up their threads. The last one is the ptlib 
housekeeper thread.
