Even then I would have at least a tray icon...  Actually, it depends on
the system installation.
I'm using the identical ekiga.conf file on my
- laptop: "run ekiga" never works. Sometimes (30%) I can see ekiga[.exe]
in the task manager. But only for half of a second.
- desktop (VirtualBox): It works always.

Both are WinXP SP3. The laptop is three years old and the VBox is quite
"naked". Antivir is disabled.
I let you know as soon as I have better information to localize the cause.

- The audio bugs are solved. Great work!

- The arrows of the tray pop-up are also gone.
But, the popup doesn't disappear when I click e.g. on the desktop. (In
opposite to the linux version)
It only disappears when I choose an entry (help, quit,...) or click on
the main ekiga window. You you have the same problem?
