It helps, but is not sufficient :o)

It is the same crash as 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ekiga/+bug/375725.  It is a 
bug in opal.

Unfortunately, opal version used by ekiga 3.2.7 is too old, hence its 
developers do not work on it anymore.  I am sorry, but the only solution 
I see is that you wait a few days, when I can propose you to use the new 
ekiga release, 3.3.1.  If I do not reply this week, come back to me.
