I am referring to a well known problem of Skype.
As exposed in this thread skype cannot make its ~/.Skype/Logs directory and crashes on start.
What about making a small shell script that create the folder if needed and start the skype executable?
#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p ~/.Skype/Logs
skype_executable "$@"
return "$?"Offline
Works for me (32-bit) out of the box (test call).

The fact it works for you does not mean the problem do not exist.

Sure, I was only saying that I can't reproduce it.

No worries, but I can second the problem on 2 different 64-bit installs.
