Hi,
let's try to narrow the bug before giving up ;-)

First, what used to happen before this new version of Skype ?
is it possible to have the debug traces ?
launch the dock with "cairo-dock -l debug > log.txt", and then
reproduce the bug, and attach the log.txt file here.

Now, if Unity launcher reacts, it's maybe because Ubuntu has a plug-in
or a patch for Skype. Maybe we can track that.
launch dbus-monitor in a terminal, and then let Skype produce a
notification, and copy-paste all the messages that appeared in the
terminal.

Thanks for your help ! :-)
