It is.

Currently, it's because the current version of Dropbox is old.
When 1.0 comes out soon, it'll be because they install a modified version of
the old version. (Unless they change course as a result of our complaints that
this is a bad idea, which seems unlikely at this point.)

No, they really don't. If they promoted Growl well, we wouldn't get several
angry email messages a month for it.

It should Just Work. If Skype shows up in the Growl preference pane, then it
should indeed be working.
Make sure Skype's new-chat (I don't know exactly what they call it)
notification is enabled in the Growl prefpane.
