Thus spake Stephen Bartlett on Tue, May 16, 2006 at 10:47:42PM -1000:
> FWIW, I had had Skype running fine on 6.0-RELEASE -- then it stopped work=
ing for some unknown reason.  Symptoms were that the Skype process would st=
art, fire up some child processes, but never bring up any windows.

Also, be alert for Skype not clearing out its $HOME/.Skype/shared.lck file =
when closed/killed.  I just discovered that this file isn't being removed w=
hen I close the app.  If this lock file is left there, Skype won't connect =
properly to the network next time.
