Skype and international characters

I upgraded my system today, and Skype no longer allows me to input Croatian characters. When started in the command line it displays the following:

QIconvCodec::convertFromUnicode: using Latin-1 for conversion, iconv failed for BOM: Bad file descriptor
QIconvCodec::convertFromUnicode: using Latin-1 for conversion, iconv_open failed
QIconvCodec::convertToUnicode: using Latin-1 for conversion, iconv_open failed
QIconvCodec::convertFromUnicode: using Latin-1 for conversion, iconv failed for BOM: Bad file descriptor

I'm on x86_64, and using bin32-skype from aur
I use kdemod4 for a DE.

any help is appreciated

Same here.
Downgrading to lib32-qt-4.6.2-4 helps.

Re: Skype and international characters

Same here with some German characters. Maybe this bug should be reported?

The very worst thing you can do with free software is to download it, see that it doesn't work for some reason, leave it, and tell your friends that it doesn't work.  -  Tuomas Lukka

Same here with cyrillic.
Downgrading solved the problem too.
