Yannick:

First of all, thank you for taking the time to respond to my bug report.
I appreciate the effort.

Although I stated it in my bug report, I should have highlighted the
fact that I used both "sudo gconf-editor" and "gconf-editor" to make the
necessary changes...Neither worked.

Yet, when I retried the non-sudo approach (per your suggestion) on a box
that I never before used ekiga on (or "sudo gconf-editor" on), it worked
without a hitch.  

The odd thing is that gconf-editor on my other box (at home and
momentarily inaccessible) did not allow me to change the settings when I
did not use sudo.  That's what led me to use "sudo" in the first place.
This, as you pointed out, doesn't make sense for user-specific settings.
Any way, I seem to have a problem with the gconf settings specific to
one box.  I see the bug report has been closed and that makes sense.
I'll try moving my user's .gconf directory and see if it works...

Thanks again,

Bud Roth
