Public bug reported: When I start skype, the skype icon appears briefly in the notification area and disappears. Once that happens there is no way to see the running instance of skype. The workaround that worked for me is to start another instance and do a pkill on skype and then start again. But even after that some times the icon disappears and if I ever close the skype windows, I will lose access to the running instance.
