Comment 7 for bug 1052458

I can confirm what was said in comment #5. This may be a legacy issue as I've used skype-wrapper since the first release and previous versions you were always instructed to set it up on boot to get it to run. As soon as I disabled that and rebooted it worked as expect.

So for anyone else with the issue, do as R3m suggested, ensure skype-wrapper doesn't exist in any startup application and you'll be fine.
