Perhaps it's just learnt the kind of things I "like" searching for.  :-)

I'd expect all the kernel versions in /boot to be on a Grub? boot menu
so you can move from the default latest version to one of the older
ones.  That's why they linger;  a new kernel may not work at all on your
machine rather than just break Skype.

Well, it may be that the fix wasn't for your combination of hardware or
doesn't cover all the breakage in some other way.  Could still be worth
trying an old kernel that you still have from when Skype did work.

Cheers, Ralph.
