Bug Description
Unfurtunately, after the release of Skype 4.0.0.7 yesterday many users experienced a problem that they don't receive notifications about new skype messages. When we receive new messages we only see a notification on Unity launcher (Ubuntu 12.04) but Cairo dock is doing nothing.
Here is an attachment with the screenshot - Unity has a notification and also Skype gives an option to see popup messages. Cairo does nothing here

Hello and thank you for this bug report
Unfortunately, if Skype devs decide to only send a notification to its Unity launcher, we can do nothing to see this notification on Cairo-Dock. But it's a bit strange because all other applications send a signal to the X server when the user has to be warned and I don't understand why they don't do the same thing! (because Unity dock is not used on Gnome Shell, KDE, XFCE, Cairo-Dock session, OpenBox, etc.)
So, for me it's a bug in Skype, don't hesitate to report it to Skype devs ;)
PS: note that it's expected to catch Unity notifications (quick-info, progress bar, menu and notifications) in the next version of Cairo-Dock ;)
