Well, you can open that dialog and just let it opened.  The goal is to 
reduce the number of components shown in the call window, for 
simplicity/readability.  Elsewhere, you can also add Forward URI, show 
slides or video (this is development currently), show local/remote video 
etc.  This is a GUI question, I let others give us their impression too.

We are a bit reluctant to changes because if we change easily the GUI, 
each time there will be a person to say: it is better like this, and 
another person later saying: no, it is better like that...

It is not possible by default, since nothing like this is shown at 
http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/unstable/GtkHScale.html.  We could 
however change the colour during slider movement.  It is a good idea, I 
will look into it later.  The question is that we do not know the 
values/borders between blue/red etc.
