I was hoping it might be sooner, but I can wait.  It's really the video 
support that interests me.

Three reasons.  I'm using SUSE with all its ideosyncrasies.  My system is KDE 
not Gnome based.  The CVS versions use autogen instead of configure and at my 
age I have too few years left to want to spend very much time figuring out 
the intricacies of autogen.  I simply want to get on with finding an 
appropriate way of doing audio/video conferencing between windows (bad word I 
know, so don't jump all over me) and linux so I can watch my grandchildren 
grow up.  Maybe I'll solve the problem next weekend when I visit their 
parents and succeed in getting Myphone running behind firewalls on their home 
networks.

Thanks for the quick reply,
