Yeap, on my Ubuntu with Skype 4.x is that same bug.
Black screen if I run Skype normal (from icon/launcher without this command).

i launched skype with the command: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-
gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

ps: i found the right path with the command: locate libv4l

btw skype team should fix this as is closed software?

cheers
