the account setup needs more work
some of the the entry boxes are too short

I think it should ship with no account details and remind you on startup if there is not a valid account section in the config file. It would be good to get some indicator of logging in taking place.

There is a problem getting pjsua to shutdown cleanly if the main window is closed using the JWM X in the top right corner.
Gtkdialog has a bug that prevents a dialog with a menubar from exiting properly, this means there is no way to signal pjsua to shutdown, this leaves all the other backgrounded processes running. The only solutions I can think of are:
1. removing the menubar
2. just telling people not to use it

Does anyone else have a solution. The problem is particularly hard as sometimes people may want to leave psip running for long periods of time without using it so as to receive incoming calls.

HarryWill,
I think that perhaps this is what you were asking,
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=71393&sid=61dfb076f963136a4c58a7a8b447400b

I know that xmms has the option to hide window decorations. I am not sure how it does it though.

I think that as far as the information in user config goes it should have the default username as YourSipName
YourPassword
The rest of the information could be in the help file.

I need to get a machine with Dingo going so I can test the newer versions.

Thanks Peppy - this is the relevant bit

I tried these two SIP services that CEL mentioned
freecall.com
callcentric.com

Callcentric offered me a number 17772318595
but not sure what to do with it . . .

Very new to all this . . .

Born after much sweat, blood and swearing.....probably like most of us, here is the next release of psip. It seems to work well for me.

0.9.8 hairywill
Packaged as a pet.
Trying really hard to kill any processes left hanging and cleaning up on start as well.
Trying to disable the multiple calls function to get it working properly with one
Modified the call and answer buttons and menu entries to stop you from being able to start more than one call.
Converted the hangup button to send \nha\n hangup all calls.
Popups for dialing out, incoming calls, buddy status change, incoming IMs
Made the account details editor smarter.
New icons.

Notes:
You can still only have one account.
The interface cannot cope with multiple current calls and there is no feature to hangup an individual call.
If you get a second incoming call whilst you are already on one, the only sensible strategy is to let it ring until it cancels itself otherwise you will lose/kill your current call.
It will not talk to Gizmo on Linux (Windows is OK) this a problem with pjsua<->Gizmo

If it works with these limitations then I will add multiple call functionality in the future. If it doesn't work at all then I'm not going to take this path further and will consider hacking the pjsua code to get a gtk client written in C.
