  ^^^^^^^ this is the one I meant, thanx, but turns out it doesn't
help with the current skype beta and my gspca camera that doesn't
do yuv video. :(  (and thus needs libv4l.)

 The previous skype version, 2.1.0.81, does work and the current beta
(2.2.0.25) also worked for kwm who has a camera (btw, have you
checked which one it is yet?) that doesn't need libv4l so it's not
entirely useless...  But at least the updated rpm doesn't seem to
work better than the one from the f10 repos.
