Re: [Ekiga-list] Newbie, help: Account mgmt problems

[Alec Leamas <leamas alec gmail com>]

Thanks for your reply!

As for the data corruption issues, this seems to happen iff I leave the 
field "Authentication User" blank in the Edit Account dialog. If I fill 
this (with same vale as User) data is not corrupted and Ekiga runs fine. 
So,  I don't have any blocking errors for the time being. But the 
presence stuff still seems a little odd e. g., Ekiga displays an account 
as Registered despite a login failure.

I've started a thread on Fedora Forum to see if there are  Fedora users 
having similar problems. No luck so far.

I'll try your recipe, and look a little more into this. Not this 
evening, though ;-)  Stay tuned..
