When video chatting with family I have had the need to do a little screen sharing. This function has worked well for me but I cannot figure out how to return to the normal iChat video session after I have shared enough screen. My Mom says, "What happened to your face?" and I have to say, "I havn't figured out how to switch back to video yet, sorry." Inevitably I have to end the chat session and open a new one with her.
Does anyone know how to resume video chat after sharing a screen through iChat?

Rather than closing the screen sharing, I think you need to re-invite the person to a audio / video chat. This will present them with a new invite, which when they accept it, will cancel the screen share and transfer pretty seamlessly into the next type of session. Similar to how you got into the screen sharing. You started in a video chat, moved to a screen sharing by inviting / requesting it.
What I'd really like is a keynote sharing style of screen sharing. The screen being shared appears like a projector screen (slightly angled) and the other party appears in a smaller box, seemingly looking at the shared screen. Lets you see their face when you start doing stuff, to see if
1) they are understanding it
2) they are scared by what you are doing to their machine !
