Thank you for this note as I would probably have missed this. I will test this on a VM until it leaves "alpha" status. One little note: I don't think it's supposed to be possible to install both at the same time. But it is currently possible. I think it's because skype is not slotted and the dependency line in the ebuild specifies slot "1" for skype. -- Joost
