I preferred gconf-editor, which I installed using apt-get. I prefer
Firefox and after I put this into gconf - everything works like a charm :)
I would like to thank you for help! My first impression from Ekiga

I think, it's not really bug but it would be an issue in Ekiga's FAQ for
future's KDE users. You may see my output of your suggested commands and
use them as example in your FAQ for KDE 3.5.4 because I use this version.
Best Regards,
Edmund
