The UI hasn't raised any questions in my use, so I guess it is ok. I may
be report more in the future when some MS-Windows users only start to
use Fedora Core 3 and Gnomemeeting.

This is not actually UI issue, but I wish it somehow would be possible
to use non standard video resolutions also between two Gnomemeeting
clients. Like VGA (640x480) or 4CIF  (704x576) if there is a bandwidth 
for that and the video device supports it. Now the max available 
resolution is CIF (352x288) as written in H.261 standard.

Integrated Jabber client would be nice. Wouldn't need to keep two almost
same purpose clients running on the background 24/7.

Maybe this would be the most efficient way, if somehow Gaim and GM would
interact, maybe embed the other one inside the other one as a pluggable
element.

Lately only chatter, but few of my relatives use softphone (sadly MSN)
almost daily.

I am afraid many would use MSN as the MS-Windows users use MSN client
and the userbase is larger. 
Good port of Gnomemeeting to MS-Windows could change all that.
