Eugen,

thanks.  I have no problem editing files by hand, but...
you say "the file".  But there are currently 22 files under there.  It
is not completely obvious
- what file needs editing;
- what directory that file should be in; and
- what syntax is required.
(None of the files I currently have contain the string "stun", so I am
starting from square 1.  No doubt if I read enough docs or search the
web, I will find it (... yep, "apps/general/nat" is the file), but I
can't help but think that one or two "custom" config files would be
just as easy as using gconf, and thus removing a dependency from what
could be ("should be" in my humble opinion) desktop-neutral program.)

Having said that, I appreciate the tremendous amount of work that you
and others have done on this program, and I respect the fact that the
people who do the work get to make the choices that suit them best.
