I saw this in time to test it briefly on my last day in Tallinn. I believe this is just a special case of our problems accessing Missed Events. Contact detail requests end up there if closed without being resolved. Currently, we have the following rather peculiar issues with the Missed Events table: You can navigate it, but it usually says "Unknown" for the rows--but, if you interact with the table, you may be able to read contact names by moving up/down with VO+Up/DownArrow. In other words, you may get more info by moving than by just asking for the current cell.
I'm not at a Mac now (actually I'm sitting in Schiphol, the Amsterdam airport, hoping the storms don't delay my trip home!), but if I remember correctly, the procedure to get to missed events involves finding a button just before the Contacts table that has no name but that says "Show missed events" if you type VO+H on it. You then get a table of missed events. At this time, you can't know the event type; but if you can recognize your contact detail request by the contact name (or by there being only the one missed event), you should be able to use VO+Space or, if not that, VO+Shift+Space to click on it. Hope this helps. Sorry for all the vagueries.

NOw, the probs I have are that I cannot seem to find a way to access contact details requests from users. I have a large number of users who can't see whether I'm online or not, as I can't seem to send them my contact details after the fact. I.E. If I've added someone to my contacts, either on my own, or upon their request, if my contact details aren't sent to them as they should be, I may be able to see them online but they won't see me. They'll show a question mark next to my name and Skype will tell them that I haven't approved their contact request. So if I don't get it immediately when the request comes in, it seems that I cannot access the appropriate dialogue to approve them after the fact. I do hope I've made sense? Have an awesome day!?
