Hmm, intersting, I've just installed Ekiga which went onto my system
with far fewer dependencies than Twinkle wanted to install (that's a
Debian testing installation). I assumed that, from the looks of the
requirements, Twinkle had a KDE backend requirement whereas Ekiga
(having originally been Gnomemeeting) had Gnome requirements. As such I
have far more Gnome libraries on my system than KDE - although I run
neither.
Anyway, I am now hooked up and running - except for the fact that my
sound is for some reason not working at the moment. I'd not noticed this
since I don't really make much use of it and didn't have speakers
plugged in until I hooked in my headset! Ah well, more fun to be had :)
