Re: [Ekiga-list] Newbie questions

Hi,

I put at http://eugen.dedu.free.fr/m.exe the latest ekiga (post 4.0.1) 
with a modification done between 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 removed.  This is the 
only modification I see which could generate the problem you describe.

Test it and tell if it gives the same results as 4.0.0 or not.
