Version: 2.0.12

(Forwarding from Launchpad bug https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ekiga/+bug/282583 )

Binary package hint: ekiga

After going through reporting bug #282568 (in bugzilla as bug 556105 <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556105>) and then restarting my system after updates to Intrepid, Ekiga refused to start. So I did:

$ sudo remove ekiga
...
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
...
$ sudo apt-get install ekiga

Still it wouldn't start, so I installed ekiga-dbg and got the backtrace below with gdb.
