Hi,

What I would like for 3.0 (I am user, not developer!) is that if there 
is a network connection error, ekiga show me clearly what is the error 
(and how can I fix it).  I imagine that a lot of users fail to connect, 
and they don't know how to fix it and they don't try any more.

For ex., now I see only the message "Could not connect to host" when 
connecting to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  What should I do (except sending a mail to 
you)?  First, a normal user doesn't know that it should execute with 
-debug 4.  Also, this means it should restart ekiga.

Also, one of my friends told me that he has audio from me, but not 
video, while I hear and see him.  How can I find myself where is the 
problem?  Also, calling to 500 does not work for him.  Finally, how can 
he execute ekiga with -d 4 on windows?

Ideally, I would see ekiga show a message with the error, for ex.:
- Could not connect to remote host, port N is blocked by a firewall (or 
sent to port N, but received no response)
- Video is disabled, your peer disabled it
- Video is disabled, cannot find a common codec (yours: ..., him: ...)
- Video disabled, port N blocked
- Cannot find the error, you can restart ekiga with -d 4 option and send 
a mail to ... with the output, if you wish
- etc.

In this way, the user may for ex. open the port N on his firewall, for ex...
