Ekiga receiving a text message from SIP Communicator

Hi, 

Text chatting amongst Ekiga 3.2.7 clients works as expected. However, when a text message is sent from another desktop SIP client (for example SIP Communicator, or Blink, registered to an Ekiga.net account), the message appears in the receiving Ekiga client's interface with raw XML "is-composing" code wrapped around it. 

In the attached screengrab, a text message has been sent from SIP Communicator 1.0 alpha 6 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, to Ekiga 3.2.7 on OpenIndiana oi_147. The message is "Hello!", and this is how it appears in Ekiga.

Quoting Dave:

"I have made an enquiry on the SIP Communicator users list, and received this response:

"That is is-composing payload, it signals to the client that the remote party is typing a message, Ekiga should check for this payload type and render some visual indication for this instead of displaying this verbatim as a text message."

I'm not a developer, but if adapting Ekiga to simply drop the is-composing code is the easiest way to resolve this, then that would get a +1 from me :)"

Same behaviour is observed on Ekiga 3.3.2 on Ubuntu 11.10 x86, receiving text messages from Jitsi 1.0-beta1-nightly.build.3820 on Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.

This is surely fixed with http://git.gnome.org/browse/ekiga/commit/?id=d32f34bc, thank you Dave!
