It is not possible.  However, there could be another method to solve this.

I cannot test right now, but I propose the following solution.  Start 
gconf-editor and see if 
/apps/ekiga/general/user_interface/video_display, video_view key is 
changed when starting and stopping a call.  If yes, then it might be 
possible to make a small program testing the change of that key and act 
accordingly.
