This has happened to me several times recently. Ekiga is connected, I
can place calls if so desired, and someone calls me. I get the
ringing sound, but none of the buttons or menu entries will let me
pick up the call.
Windows 7 x64, Ekiga 4.0.1, using SIP (specifically SimpleSignal
service, which uses BroadSoft, in case that matters)
Any clues?
Heh. This is a big problem. I thought Windows was supposed to pop up
the call window instead of using notifiers? On unix desktops with
notifiers, ekiga pops up a notifier with Accept and Reject buttons.
Unfortunately, 2 out of 4 desktop systems tested have broken notifiers,
so that you can't answer calls on those desktops either. Working
desktops so far in Fedora are gnome-shell and mate (cinnamon and
gnome-fallback are broken).
I've been campaigning for the developers to make always using the Call
window a config option, instead of relying the desktop environment to
tell the truth about whether buttons on notifiers are supported
(cinnamon lies) and assuming they actually work.
It is good to try to support notifiers by default, since that is more
elegant, and integrated with the desktop. But being able to fall back
to the call window without recompiling would be great.
