For Evolution there are actually two positions in the Indication Applet:
* Evolution Mail
* Inbox [number_of_unread_e-mails]

The first one runs the Evolution / opens Evolution window. The second
one does the same as the former but appears only when Evolution is
running (when Evolution's off there's a description string "Read and
write emails" instead). That's a waste of interface space, however, in
case of Ekiga, there can be:

- when Ekiga is off:
* Ekiga
* Talk to people over the internet

- when Ekiga is running:
* Ekiga

- when there's a call incoming (indicator applet changes colour and the sound 
is played):
* Ekiga (answer a call)
* Ekiga (decline a call)

If you don't consider the above solution (which works similar for
pidgin/telepathy) functional enough "incoming call" event can be treated
as a special dialogue box - whenever there's an incoming call and Ekiga
isn't in "Do Not Disturb" state, pop-up an Answer/Decline dialogue box
in the middle of the screen or under the system tray. That's the most
intuitive solution I can think of - don't know how much it bends the
rules of Gnome HIG. Doesn't seem to bend anything to me.

Cheers!
