Description Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak 2006-06-07 22:05:24 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When calling another ekiga, while the remote user does not answer the call, ekiga rings three or four times (7-10 seconds), and then terminates the call with "Remote user is offline" message. I have checked that in Edit/Preferences/General/Call options/
/Timeout to reject or forward unanswered calls is set to 45 seconds
(even changing it to 90 seconds does not help).


Steps to reproduce:
1. run two ekigas at different SIP URLs
2. from one ekiga call the other one
3. from the other ekiga - do not answer the call


Actual results:
after three or four rings the calling ekiga stops with "Remote user is offline" message.

Expected results:
I expect it to ring for 45 seconds (until the remote ekiga rejects or forwards the call).

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
ekiga-2.0.1-1 from Fedora Core 5, tried on both i386 and x86_64.

The "remote user is offline" message comes from the server, because the server knows if an user is offline or not, so it is send very quickly. It is thus not a bug.

However, I checked the code that rejects a call or forward it after the timeout specified in the preferences, and both situations were broken. It is now fixed in CVS HEAD and gnome-2-14.
