Yes that is very weird, should probably be reported to the accessibility
guys.

Indeed, the FAQ tells to build with /usr as prefix as it is the prefix
for all major distributions.

That is an unimplemented feature of the MCU, however, it should be able
to forward text chat messages to all participants, but you will be
unable to know who it comes from. It will always appear as coming from
the MCU server.
If you want this to work, then the UserInputString capabilities must be
enabled.

I don't understand what you mean. Minimizing / maximizing GnomeMeeting
would cause the MCU to crash? That is certainly unrelated.

Anyway, all MCU problems should go to openh323 openh323 org .

Do you mean the text chat font or the whole gnomemeeting font?
The first one is possible, but is it useful?
The second one is not really possible.
