Hello all,
IMHO, I don't know if, as of today, it is technically possible, but I 
would say that leave the choice to the final user.
Might it be possible to keep any Ekiga builtin directory (or why not 
Evoltution ?) as a default and give the possibility to use something else ?
For example, in my personnal case, I would prefer to use the thunderbird 
one. I don't use Evolution at all and it seems to me as a double 
fonction with thunderbird.
I would check (b).
Thanks,
PhL
