Skype on Breezy?

[zer0halo]

I ran into problems as well and found that I had to use the static binary
available on skype.com <http://skype.com>, which has the QT libraries
compiled. That's because there's a conflict between the QT library in Breezy
and the one used by skype. So using the static binary is a work around.

Just put the binary in /opt and then create a custom command in your
applicaiton menu that points to it.

It takes a while to start up, but works fine and doesn't break anything on
your system.
