I disagree, such things depends on the person to who you are talking and of his connection
type. For example, if my settings are for very good quality calls, and that I'm talking to you
with your bad network connection, I will quickly go in the preferences to change the framerate,
the jitter buffer, the video quality, quiclky before you are flooded and disconnected.

I don't see what is wrong with this preferences button.
I'll take a screenshot of that awful GnomeMeeting with the horizontal toolbar, but apparently,
you and Christian do not really care of the design of an UI.

Some others in the ml seem, fortunately, to agree with me.

I'll do it my way. If you want a unique horizontal toolbar, go look how balsa work, and 
code me a way (like in balsa) to decide which buttons you want and on which toolbars.

I'm waiting for such improvements.
