[Bug 1194322] [NEW] skype.desktop Exec line refers to non-existent "skype-wrapper" program, breaking the launcher icon

[Tristan Schmelcher]

Public bug reported:

The contents of /usr/share/app-install/desktop/skype.desktop specify
Exec=skype-wrapper, but there is no such program. As a result, after
installing Skype through the Ubuntu Software Center, clicking the
launcher icon does nothing. Changing the Exec line to Exec=skype
corrects the problem for me.
