You can listen for the CreateClient event via wmiir and check the
title or class information of the created client to determine
whether it is the Ekiga pop-up window. If that is the case, you can:

1. have the popup appear on all views by tagging it with all current
tags. This way, you won't need to know all possible tags you will be
using before-hand (for /def/rules).

2. have wmii focus the first view in which the pop-up has appeared.

Try the second approach then. Although, this might present
annoyances of itself (you're suddenly whisked away to some other
view...).
