Hi,
i found Ekiga a bit slow at startup. Since this could be a subjective tought, I started 
the program in command line with "ekiga -d 3".
Here is an excerpt of what i got in the points with a noticeable time gap:

Try using ekiga -d 8 and see if some intermediate lines are written during inactivity.

About 25 seconds to show the main window. I don't know if this is a normal 
behaviour and there are legitimate elaborations going on,
that's why i classified the report as minor bug.

This is not normal. It does not appear here. This sometimes appear when there are some issues with the DNS and the STUN result, but as written below the STUN is not the case. I suppose you have restarted ekiga after disabling network detection, right?

P.S. I tried a quick installation on two virtual machines (an ubuntu one and a 
windows one, both with nat networking) and it seems not to stuck.
Because of the slowdown near STUN operations and video device detection, i tried 
unchecking "Enable network detection" in Ekiga settings,
but this changed nothing; also could be relevant that there is no webcam 
detected in virtual machines, so maybe it skips some operations.

Another idea is to look with wireshark at second 10 and 25 what packets you receive. If it is DNS response, then it would confirm my hypothesis about DNS exchange taking so long. Alternatively, you can try another DNS server (in /etc/resolv.conf), e.g. someone wrote on our mailing list:

"I had a similar problem with dns servers where the isp provider didn't
have a good dns server and I had many delays on the connections.

I use the dns from opendns.com and I have no problem anymore..."
