Comment 1 for bug 1058965

I don't understand why you cannot use skype-wrapper with Empathy 3.6 the Skype-account has to be set up in Skype. The only function that is used from Empathy is the global online status. And as far as Iḿ concerned it is not even remotely possible to add such an option because the skype4py doesn't support that.

Nonetheless, if you set up you account in Skype, skype-wrapper should work. The Account-Plugin is something that Skype itself needs to implement IMHO.
