Good to hear. Would you think it would be better to have the buttons
be above the input box or go down to the right of it (like in the mock
up)?

One issue I've been running into with having the GtkPaned is that if
you start video call, resize it to your liking, then hangup and start
an audio call with the same person, it is again at the size that you
resized it to for the video. Also, if you start a new session with
someone else, it doesn't save where you last had it.

I've been using the GtkAspectFrame since I originally embedded the
video and I feel like I've tried every combination of TRUE and FALSE
in each of those packing functions etc. I'd very much like it to
automatically resize, but I'm really unsure of how to do it at this
point, if it's possible. If anyone would like to give it a go, please
do.
