gnome-session-properties may not always show all your startup
applications

Each can be made hidden by modifying their independent files
in /etc/xdg/startup/{name-of-file}

this can be done by modifying in the file
NoDisplay=true to NoDisplay=false

Look in this directory and see if there a file to start up skupe

Cheers
Sean

not see anything. I don't think its a "User" problem.
