Ekiga does not have such feature.  Please make a bug report and attach 
the image.  I think it is simple (feasible, does not need high 
programming skills) to program it, but it can take a bit of time.

But I am not quite fond about it.  Injecting small packets in the 
network only to tell the other person that you are writing means network 
usage for not much information...
