Must admit I had to give up on MenuLibre as it apparently requires slackware 14. Vector is working on that now.Please ignore my proposal concerning to MenuLibre as it is merely a Desktop Launcher editor and does not support editing of Desktop Launchers of Link Types, as it seems, nor it support editing of reordering menu categories.As to the slow loading, that problem is solved (I took all the "friends" out of linphonerc. However, I now have to copy and paste contact info (phone numbers), so that's a bummer. I am looking at faster ways to do this.Did you try to execute (double click) the Desktop Launcher I attached?
I think so. I have saved the old Friends list from linphonerc to a text file. I open that file, search for the name, copy the phone number, paste it into linphone and then dial the number. Most anything would be better than this.Would you like to use your system menu to manage your contacts?
Which Desktop Environment are you using?
xfce4
As to the problem with "enable self view" I can't tell if that is fixed or not (I doubt it) as I no longer have any video codecs in preferences. They are apparently in linphonerc, but don't show in the gui window. I probably don't know how to pass VIDEO=yes to the build script. Here is what I do: # ./linphone.SlackBuild VIDEO=yes I then use installpkg to install the SBO file. Linphone runs when I do this but does the Video Input Device is greyed out and no video codecs show in Preferences. You have already done more than enough. Still, any thoughts you have about any of this, are most appreciated.

I tried to use the address book of Claws Mail and I have failed to make a click-able sip: URI. In the meantime I think I have a very strange solution which you might like. Using the Start Menu Application launcher (of freeDesktop.org).
