Hi Tony:
I think you can set those Skype notifications
 in preferences, (command comma).  Also, you can read conversations by 
interacting with their window.  One simple rule I teach is when using the Mac, 
if something appears not to be working, don't give up unless you've tried 
interacting with it. (vo-keys-shift-down arrow, and uninteract is 
vo-keys-shift-up-arrow.
