Bug Description
Since I upgraded to Oneiric, skype doesn't display its icon in the menu bar anymore.
That means that if the 'Start minimized in system tray' option is selected, it's not possible to access Skype after it starts.
Starting another skype instance and then killing all of them and authenticating again will bring back the 'Contacts' window. Make sure to disable the option afterwards.
Skype version 2.2.0.35-0natty1 installed from the natty-parner software source.
Changed in skype (Ubuntu): | |

Using an old trick to get it working in Natty, I had some success. First I queried (get command) the current whitelist for old-style notifications, and then copied it and added Skype to it (set command). After reboot Skype appeared when loaded.
gsettings get com.canonical. Unity.Panel systray-whitelist
gsettings set com.canonical. Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbedded Frame', 'Wine', 'scp-dbus-service', 'Skype']"
