I found a workaround on the Skype forums that may be helpful. http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=332401
Here's what I did: - downloaded the python script in that post (ensures that only a single instance of skype is started) - copied the script to /usr/local/bin - edit the "Main Menu" and added a new item called skype-single-instance in the network category + also used the same skype icon (/usr/share/icons/skype.png) - started the skype-single-instance from the dash - when the icon showed up in the launcher I right-clicked and selected "keep in launcher" now I can close the skype contacts window with ALT-F4 or the close button and if I want Skype back I can click on the skype-single-instance icon in the launcher. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/667050 Title: skype instance is not detected properly in the launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bamf/+bug/667050/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
