on skype forums (http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=341091) i've found new version of skype http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-mid its skype-3.0.0.93 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
That particular version of Skype is for MIDs, not desktops (but it'll still work on Linux, I doubt it'll get into the Portage tree). Not to mention it's beta software.
seems development of skype continues. so i close this bug in favor of Bug 283008
