Comment 12 for bug 1052141

the way it works is very odd.
after the installation it does work.
after a month it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.
I'm on 12.04.2 amd64 kernel 3.5, well, I deciede to purge the package and install the one for quantal then.
after doing that, I started skype and since then the wrapper has worked fine.
I rebooted 2 times bit it still works (for example, in the past it used not to see old messages that I had got, now it does and shows the notification on startup).
It seems for me like something breks it... SInce I'm Russian and chat mostly with the Russians, that might be some Cyrillic symbols (in names of users/conferences or in messages/statuses) or smth like that.
I haven't tried using the conference chat or calling on the 'quantal' version of the wrapper yet, but as as message notifier is works well.
We'll see what happens.
