Re: [Ekiga-list] Newbie questions

I understand that it is annoying, but adding a checkbox means adding it 
to configuration files too, allow users to uncheck it, take into account 
users who forgot this, or worse users who change network (work->home) 
and where parameters are different etc.

So we need to think a bit about that before implementing anything.
