+I faced the same problem, but the dynamic version seems to work(*).
+
+(*) I said seems to work because in my machine the gnome session crashes as
+soon as I try to open skype's configuration window, but this is something
+that was also happening with the previous version and also happens with
+other applications (e.g. calibre). I think the problem comes from my
+installation and not from skype or calibre. I'll treat the problem in a
+separate thread as soon as I get more information.
