It should be possible to do that -- will require some gconf magic 
probably so the various instances don't step on each other's toes :-)

In gconf.

Hmmm... should be done before ekiga starts :-/

Hmmm... probably external from ekiga :-/

Hmmm... can probably be done in gconf.

Very good choice *g*

Well, if you expect direct, fast and reliable help, you'll have a hard 
time -- especially in this season! -- but we'll try to help.

The first hurdle will probably be to get gconf to behave : whenever you 
change the preferences in gconf, you'll impact all running instances -- 
which is bad. There must be some way to get around this by running a 
separate gconf daemon for each instance, or something like this. I would 
dig in that direction.
