Bug Description

The contents of /usr/share/app-install/desktop/skype.desktop specify Exec=skype-wrapper, but there is no such program. As a result, after installing Skype through the Ubuntu Software Center, clicking the launcher icon does nothing. Changing the Exec line to Exec=skype corrects the problem for me.
