This is because ekiga is not yet ready to use newer version of ptlib and 
opal.  ptlib/opal often breaks API with each release, is not well tested 
on linux platforms, and ekiga has not kept up with the changes.

I made a fast check, and I found one chunck of your patch not to be 
inside, and about 4 chuncks inside.  So in short I wrote "most if not 
all your changes".  I will do a full check upon uploading, anyway.

Kind regards,
