	Hmm, despite being linked against avahi libraries, Ekiga in FC5
is not compiled with avahi support. Sorry for the noise.

	However, there is another problem - my coworker uses Gizmo,
and I can see him in the "Contacts near me" address list. I can
"right-click + call contact" on the address book, but his line
is somewhat different than other lines - his line in the address book
has the following fields:

Name:        sip:<nickname>@proxy01.sipphone.com:5060
Software:    <empty>
VoIP URL:    sip:<his local IP address>:64064

so when I do "right-click -> Add contact to the address book", I have
his real SIP address stored as a "name", and his temporary address
(the IP on the local net he is currently using) is stored as a
"VoIP URL". This is probably wrong, because the later could change
any time, while the former (sip:<nickname>@proxy01.sipphone.com:5060)
is - I think - permanent.
