gnomemeeting − H323 Videoconferencing for UN*X
gnomemeeting [-d]
GnomeMeeting is a H.323 Video Conferencing application which uses the H.323 protocol (provided by the OpenH323 library). It can connect to a variety of other H323 applications including Microsoft NetMeeting. It also supports ILS (the Microsoft version of LDAP) and XDAP servers. GnomeMeeting can work with or without a webcam, and is able to create pure audio communications or traditionnal audio+video communications. GnomeMeeting has been designed for the GNOME desktop and therefore uses gconfd-2(1) for storing its userdata. It offers to configure almost every option from within the GUI. The only relevant command-line option is -d to turn on debugging during calls.

/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/gnomemeeting/
The system wide configuration file. See gconf-config(1) for further details on gconf. (The actual place can differ depending on your system’s configuration)
~/.gconf/apps/gnomemeeting
Per user configuration file. See gconf-config(1) for further details.
On startup GnomeMeeting reads the system-wide gconf schemas (like every other GNOME2 app should do) from /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps. Every modification of the gconf keys using the GUI, gconftool or gconf-editor is reflected in real-time by GnomeMeeting.
The following diagnostics may occur:
Please check
your gconf settings and permissions, it seems that gconf is
not properly setup on your system
gconfd-1 is running and you’re trying to start
gnomemeeting > 0.91
which needs gconfd-2
-> kill gconfd-1 and try again
your gconf-dir isn’t set to mode 4755
-> set chmod -R 4755 /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults
More problems are described in greater detail in the FAQ and
Mailinglist-archive (see BUGS and GETTING HELP).
Currently some users are still experiencing problems with gconf, as the gconf-utilization is newly introduced in GNOME2. Hopefully this will be solved once GNOME2 is shipped with all major distributions with working gconf setup. See bugzilla on
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gnomemeeting
to obtain the current list of bugs.
