I sent SIGTERM to the process and checked that it had gone before
retrying.

The user has Xfce4. So, second-hand they reported to me the window
wasn't coming up. They let me log in with ssh -CX and I checked that
things like xterm and iceweasel come up for me from their system but
indeed no Ekiga window popped up for me, either. When Ekiga 3.2.1 used
to be running on their system, they would see a colored disc in the top
right of their desktop corresponding to whether they're marked as away
or what (Pidgin does the same thing), and when I asked them this time
they reported that they weren't seeing the disc, but I didn't see that
part for myself and they're sometimes bad at finding things on the
screen so that's not a reliable report I'm afraid. Is there a
command-line way I can ssh into their system and check for what you're
looking for when Ekiga's running?

Oh, cool, so the ports 5001-5100 UDP forwarding is probably working?
