Please test and report also with another desktop, does it work with different versions?

I don't know if previous versions of skype are affected because i did't test.

I tested on Xfce, icon is here.
I tested on a VM with same version of GNOME, it works too...

I have a mistake on my computer....

Hard to say, skype is a proprietary application.
