Assuming it's a relatively recent install it might be worth checki|ng
~/.config/autostart and /etc/xdg/autostart manually.

It could be that gnome-session-properties isn't showing an entry that it

grep -ri skype ~

to search through your home directory for anything that mentions Skype.
You might spot it lurking in a gconf file or something.
