[Ekiga-list] Ekiga does not start

[Tobias Eberle <tobias eberle gmx de>]

Hello,

I have ekiga from the current Debian unstable (it's version 2.0.3). One
day I had to restart my computer and since then ekiga does not start
anymore. That means that starting ekiga in a console does not output
anything, does not show a GUI but is also not terminating, so actually
it is running.

"ekiga -d 6" output:

that seems to be fine.
I tried ekiga-config-tool --clean but this did not help.

Using another user account (e.g. a new create one) ekiga is running
perfectly.

Does anybody has an idea what's happening here and how to fix it? I
would be happy not to create a new user account and migrating all my
settings to the new one.

Thank you in advance,

Tobias
