Yes, a company is already doing this. Just choose "Both" as method to
show the video. The 2 popups will appear when there is a call and
disappear when there is none. The CVS version will remember the sizes
and positions for the 2 windows.

You can call an URL using gnomemeeting -c URL

Not possible yet. But that could be developed.

No, but you can control and change all settings in real time using
gconftool-2. However you can not get information from the software. You
can just make it do calls and change its settings.

Yes a french company (I won't tell which one) is using a similar
approach to hide gnomemeeting while keeping its functionalities
available (but hidden) in their product.
