NAME

       gnomemeeting - H323 Videoconferencing for UN*X

SYNOPSIS

       gnomemeeting [-d]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       -d     turn on debugging (on the console)

FILES

       /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.

ENVIRONMENT

       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.

DIAGNOSTICS

       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).

BUGS

       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.
