Normally, when ekiga crash aport should start automatically to report a
backtrace. It seems it does not work in your case.

As we need a backtrace to see where Ekiga crash, here is a manual
approach:

Install needed packages for a good backtrace:
$ sudo aptitude install gdb ekiga-dbg libopal3.6.1-dbg libpt2.6.1-dbg avahi-dbg 
libglib2.0-0-dbg libgtk2.0-0-dbg

Getting the stack backtrace, in a terminal, type:
$ gdb --args ekiga -d 4 2>&1 | tee gdb-ekiga.txt
(gdb) run

Now Ekiga should run normally. Perform the action you did to make it
crash, then go back to the terminal window and you should see something
like SIGSEGV at...

At this stage type:
(gdb) thread apply all bt
(gdb) quit

The file gdb-ekiga.txt has the backtrace you need to attach here; go to this 
URL: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ekiga/+bug/415001 , there is a 
form to attach a file at the bottom.
The file gdb-ekiga.txt should be in your home directory.

Now you can safely remove the packages you installed in order to get the 
backtrace:
$ sudo aptitude remove gdb ekiga-dbg libopal3.6.1-dbg libpt2.6.1-dbg avahi-dbg 
libglib2.0-0-dbg libgtk2.0-0-dbg

Best regards,
Yannick
