Anthony - not sure if you are indeed seeing the same thing as me, but I 
have made an enquiry on the SIP Communicator users list, and received 
this response:

"That is is-composing payload, it signals to the client that the remote party is typing a message, Ekiga should check for this payload type and render some visual indication for this instead of displaying this verbatim as a text message."


Ekiga devs, could it be that Ekiga does not handle is-composing payload 
at all, while SIP Communicator and Pidgin do?
