Binary package hint: ekiga-gtkonly
When launch ekiga-gtkonly in Xubuntu 8.04 a list of errors appear in the terminal along with two dialog boxes stating that it cannot open the ports necessary for H.323 & SIP.
If I install the full ekiga client (which brings in additional libraries and services such as evolution which I do not want) it functions correctly.
Dialog 1
Error while starting the listener for the SIP protocol
You will not be able to receive incoming SIP calls. Please check that no other program is already running on the port used by Ekiga.
Dialog 2
Error while starting the listener for the H.323 protocol
You will not be able to receive incoming H.323 calls. Please check that no other program is already running on the port used by Ekiga.

I experience the same problem forcing me to use linphone, which is pretty lacking.
