Thanks you all for your suggestions, first.

But I'm still struggling with it:
First issue: Ekiga tries to be smart and sets the popup's title to
reflect the caller's identity. Hence, a varying label that helps...
I thought at first I would unconditionally tag every new window with the
current view's tag. Annoying, but at least a temporary workaround for
the calls I miss :)

*THOUGH* a second issue raised: when the popup gets created, I see no
"CreateClient" event. I added a "catch-all" clause to watch other
events, and all I get is a "ClientFocus <number>":
<snip>
        *)
                echo "EVENT: $event" >> $LOGFILE;;
        esac
done &
</snip>

How come that event isn't seen by wmii ? Or is it filtered out and not
reported through /event ?
