[gui-talk] skype

[tribble]

Hi all --
Against my better judgement I have installed skype on my pc after a long 
absence and it is dead in the water.
Is anyone else running skype? I downloaded 3.8 and dougs latest scripts and 
installed both, but the skype process appears to freeze whenever I run 
skype.
I try killing it with the task manager, but it fails.  It asks me to create 
a new username but gives no way to sign into my old one, which isn't a big 
problem but I prefer my old id.
Anyway, if anyone has a suggestion, feel free to impart.
Thanks in advance.
