I just looked at my skype package version and it appears I already have
4.1.0.20.0-0ubuntu0.13.04.2. So because of missing Mesa GL libs this
version didn't fix the problem for me, and the fix I described in #48
applies to this version.

> I can't help thinking that you ask for trouble by installing the
driver directly from the nvidia site.

I realize the danger but still would like to try out new features in the
driver as it comes out. If there was a repo with the latest Nvidia
drivers I would use it, of course.

Regarding the driver package, I can see it doesn't conflict with libgl1
-mesa-glx, so you probably have both installed, which solves the problem
with skype. But again, I'm not sure that having two GL implementations
is safe, it did cause problems in my setup and Nvidia is probably
removing Mesa for a reason.
