I've also found Skype to be a bit dodgy under Linux.  Sometimes it 
works, sometimes it doesn't.  When I really need to use it, I boot up 
WinXP on my laptop and it works fine.  As Karanbir noted, they don't 
seem to really care what happens on the Linux front so I wouldn't hold 
your breath waiting for any fixes if it turns out to be a 
version-specific issue.  If it's just a matter of tweaking your 
firewall, consider yourself lucky.

Cheers,
