[Ekiga-list] Visual feedback when doing ekiga -c calls

[Alec Leamas <leamas alec gmail com>]

As of now, if a running ekiga instance makes a call started through 
"ekiga -c #" there is no visual feedback at all. Somehow, when I use 
this,  it creates a little uneasy feeling (despite the obvious audio 
feedback). Also, if I lose connection to my account (and thus can't 
receive or place calls), there is still the same green spot in the tray...

Thinking about it, from a user perspective there is really four states:

- "No dialtone" i.e., no registered account.
- Idle, ready...
- Connecting
- Connected

I think it would make sense to reflect all these states in the tray 
icon. Nothing like Skype, which throws up it's main window when a call 
is initiated - it just irritating when you work in another application. 
Maybe just change colour on the green spoot in the tray. Just to 
illustrate what I have in mind:

- No dialtone: Red spot, tooltip "No account registered"
- Idle: Green spot, tooltip "Diamondcard account registered" or "Two 
accounts registered"
- Connecting: yellow spot, tooltip "Connecting to "1111111 sip provider com"
- Connected: as today, tooltip "Connected to "111111 sip provider com"

Or?
