All right.
But the way it was in Gnomemeeting was easier (no external application 
to manipulate video size - I didn't even had gconf-editor installed).

Yeah, my bandwidth permits it.

BTW, this Camera (Philips Vesta 730, pwc driver), allows 6 video 
resolutions (with camstream program when I tested it):

- subQCIF (128x96)
- QSIF (160x120)
- QCIF (176x144)
- SIF (320x240)
- CIF (352x288)
- VGA (640x480)

However, Ekiga only seem to support two of them, as reported in 
gconf-editor (QCIF - 176x144, and CIF - 352x288).

Why is it so?
