Did you install it from the AUR? If so, read the last (topmost) comment https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/skype-restricted/ :

Skype-restricted doesn't work anymore with the latest update of the xserver.

Add this in either the /usr/bin/skype shell script or somewhere else to fix it:

xhost +local:_skype

Re: skype-restricted problems - black window ?

hmm i tried that as well, and i also tried the manual version ... both without success ...

BTW, there's already one xhost line ... do i have to replace that one, or add the abovementioned one ??
