A search of my entire disk reveal nothing called "skype" or anything
containing "skype" in it's name, except for some things in places
like /usr/share - icons and the like. Certainly nothing executable and
no conf files. apt-get reports no such package installed when I try
"apt-get remove" on skype or skype-bin. Maybe my search was too
simplistic, or maybe I should have searched as root.

About all I can think now is that skype installs a library of some sort
that is lying around confusing the issue.
