bakytn, thanx for your answer and this is precisely what I did as a workaround in the beginning.
But I did not accept this workaround as a day to day practice. Having many applications open on desktop and having to make a killall skype in Terminal as a result of habitual closing skype's main window - in GNOME2 skype remains in indicator bar and the desktop was cleaned up from another application window - is a show stopper for me here. After that action one also needs to reestablish all ongoing skype group-chat windows on each virtual desktop etc... As I use my laptop in business context as a working tool and as that Skype functionality is a 'must have' INTEGRATED part in my daily interaction, I went back to Ubuntu 10.04. cheers, cue -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Canonical Partner Developers, which is subscribed to skype in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/940821 Title: SKYPE has been automatically removed from Ubuntu 12.04(amd64) during the update process and can't be reinstalled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+bug/940821/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-partner-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~canonical-partner-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
