 Hi,

 1) Please change the layout of the video chat window. Currently it wastes
 way too much space when maximized (esp. on widescreen monitor). Other
 party video is way too small and lots of empty space around both videos.
 Put monitor video (my video) into main video if possible, or, at least put
 it to the right of main video and make it smaller (1/4 of current size is
 enough). Volume controls would then fit above or below monitor video, and
 screen space would be used very efficiently.

 2) Please add fullscreen support for video chats! :)

 Big thanks to everyone! Pidgin seems to be the only client able to
 establish reliable video chats over xmpp. empathy does not even seem to
 care about syncing voice and video, very disappointing.

 (using ubuntu and pidgin developer ppa)

 regards
 sven
