Description Thomas Bertels 2014-03-10 12:33:27 UTC 
Until version 3.2.7, there was an option to start Ekiga hidden. This option isn't available since version 4.0.

Starting it hidden is especially useful when Ekiga is launched at OS startup (see bug 726031).

It was discussed at https://mail.gnome.org/archives/ekiga-list/2013-October/msg00030.html but it may be easier to follow it here.

Ekiga is not under active development anymore:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/-/issues/273

Ekiga saw its last release 7 years ago. The last code commits were 4 years ago.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (and transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active Ekiga development again in the future.
