As reported here, it is possible to call a sip address without any
reference to a registrar Ekiga is registered. Thus if one of your
account (like Ekiga is registered to wengo.fr and this allow to call
myself_bar at voip.brujula.net ) and another account (for the exemple
gizmo) let you call dude at voxalot.com.

In this particular case, with Ekiga 3.0, you will have your friends in
the roster:
myself_bar at voip.brujula.net
dude at voxalot.com
and 1 default account which will work only for 1 of your friend.
To reach the other one, you'll need to change the default account, which
breaks the whole idea of the roster: direct access to your friends.

I wonder if contacts should be attached to 1 account when you create
them, with the option to change the attached account.
