Hi there, sorry it's taken me a bit to get back to you. I don't think you'll get much success resolving the problem by updating the kernel (unless the entire system locks up from the skype error - which it doesn't sound like is the case). Unfortunately, I don't think there's much we can do on the Ubuntu side of things to resolve this problem, its a package that's in the partner repository and it seems like a fix would require a patch, which I suspect we can't have an Ubuntu delta for. You're best bet would be the skype folks, somebody over there will take a look at your jira report eventually, it seems you've provided plenty of debugging information for them.
