I found out the problem, at least for me. I was running quantal kernel with old

Upgrading to LTS raring kernel and LTS raring xserver solved the problem. I
think upgrading to LTS quantal xserver would have been worked as well.

If that's the case, it sounds terribly wrong to me. No package should be

Instead of using the command each time you start the computer through

Gunnar, we already have the latest version of the skype binary included
in raring. Short of someone identifying and fixing a regression in
QtWebkit, the only way to fix this is if Skype upstream provides a new
build.

The Skype binary should be built against new qtWebkit 2.3.0. It runs
