Hide Skype entirely (tested working in Openbox)

I'm not sure if this is the place to be, don't shoot me if it isn't... please???

I've been bugging around with a (very tiny, but it was being a jerk) script this afternoon to hide Skype from my minimalist Openbox setup. I use Skype through Pidgin using the skype4pidgin package and I didn't like the ugly icon in the system tray. More information about the script can be found here... Hope somebody can use this!

Requirements:
- OpenBox
- A system tray application (Tint2, Stalonetray, whatsoever)
- xdotool

Tested working on:
- Arch Linux (duh!)
- OpenBox v3.5.0
- Skype v4.1.0.20
- Tint2 v652
