Hi

Any luck fixing the problem yet?

I have just done a quick search and every link seems to be point towards
using "gnome-session-properties" / "Startup Applications".

I think there is a config file in which you can put "startup
applications" in; but I can't think of what it's called at the moment.

I think I found some information that may help; read:

Not a top priority ATM, just annoying.

OK will look later. I will also have a look at Fedora stuff as I think a
few things have changed since I last looked a few years ago.

If not I will post to the Skype forum, after checking there again to
see if its been raised.
