Well,

As I'm not sure I understand completely the full meaning of "In
my opinion GM should write this urls for you 95% of the time", here is a
simple request:
- Imagine the user has to call host.com with port 1740.
- What should he do? What is GnomeMeeting's role here?

(writing the 'h323:@host.com:1740' URL after having read the
documentation and clicking on connect is a right answer, but that's what
I call being counter-intuitive).
