Confirmed on vivid...

Here's the lazy man's fix. It'll replace the dash Skype icon launching
command to unset XMODIFIERS before launching skype.

You just have to copy paste in a shell:

DESKTOPFILE=/usr/share/applications/skype.desktop
if [ -e "$DESKTOPFILE" ]; then
    sudo sed -ri 's/^Exec=skype %U$/Exec=env -u XMODIFIERS skype %U/g' 
"$DESKTOPFILE"
    echo "Found and updated $DESKTOPFILE."
else 
    echo "Not Found, NO correction applied."
fi
