Ekiga address book searches only on ekiga.net's LDAP, which contains 
ekiga.net accounts (not Call Out ones for ex.)

On the new computer, qui ekiga, kill gconf, remove ~/.gconfd if any, and 
copy .gconf/apps/ekiga/contacts, roster key from computer with the 
contacts, to the same key in your new computer.

No.  This is somewhat confidential, some people do not want that 
everybody know what their contacts are.
