I don't work as root. /compat/linux diectory is owned by my user, not 
root, not sure why. This is a very, very old system. Upgraded many 
times. That's how /compat/linux/home could get created. I can't 
understand why skype would create it instead of using /home.

I guess that's a side effect of /compat/linux not being owned by root.
