I am experiencing the same problem here.

I was running snapshot versions (months ago; on Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04)
before I installed Ekiga 3.0 (again, a snapshot, but it should basically
be the 3.0 code), to which I upgraded from the standard Ubuntu packages.

Is it possible that some of the snapshots in between have been compiled
without Gnome support? What does Gnome support mean, is it the support
for Gnome sessions and the Evolution address book, or is there anything
else?

Best regards,
