Yep, still in place.
If prelink is used, bakcklitsing skype is the obnly way to run it, otherwise it cores.

veleno@alustriel:~$ skype
Fatal: QWidget: Must construct a QApplication before a QPaintDevice
Aborted (core dumped)

Without reinstalling skype but clacklisting in prelink:
veleno@alustriel:~$ skype
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

After reinstalling skype and rebuilding prelink.cache it works.
