Re: the error message in 1.

Since it may be difficult (or impossible?) for Ekiga to detect and/or 
configure ports on remote firewalls, perhaps a simpler (or at least 
quicker/temporary) solution would be to include an option checkbox in 
the error notice saying:  "check box not to be reminded of this next 
time Ekiga starts".
