when starting skype-1.2.0.18 (both with and without USE=static), the program uses the CPU for 1-2 seconds, then it does nothing (it doesn't open any window, nor print any error message). I have to press Ctrl-C from the terminal to kill it. USE=-static skype-1.3.0.37 segfaults on start on a free() call.

with the static USE flag off try to run: XMODIFIERS=@im=none QT_IM_MODULE=xim skype and see if it crashes. If not please report back so that we can add that to the startup script.
XMODIFIERS=@im=none QT_IM_MODULE=xim skype works.
Created attachment 99131 [details] skype.sh Please copy this file over the /opt/skype/skype.sh and try again with the dynamic linked version of skype (-static) . If this fixes then I'll add it to portage and we can close this bug.

I have got Skype to work by using your attachment and changing the last line to : XMODIFIERS=@im=none QT_IM_MODULE=skype exec ${skypecmd} ${progopts} $@ while this functions, obviously, I can no longer type hanzi (Chinese characters) in skype, so this isn't a fix, it's a hack, but a massive improvement nonetheless. Thanks :-)
Ok. I did some more research(In reply to comment #7) > I have got Skype to work by using your attachment and changing the last line to > : > XMODIFIERS=@im=none QT_IM_MODULE=skype exec ${skypecmd} ${progopts} $@ > while this functions, obviously, I can no longer type hanzi (Chinese > characters) in skype, so this isn't a fix, it's a hack, but a massive > improvement nonetheless.

x86, my emerge --info is on the other bug (marked as a dup of this one)
attachment does NOT work. the system begins swapping like a demon until it's completely unusable.
> I have got Skype to work by using your attachment and changing the last line to: > XMODIFIERS=@im=none QT_IM_MODULE=skype exec ${skypecmd} ${progopts} $@ this one works (except for the fact that I can't type in japanese).

It was calling itself and was just a nice fork bomb. Two more questions. 1-If you start with: XMODIFIERS=@im=none QT_IM_MODULE=simple exec ${skypecmd} ${progopts} $@ having installed the static version you will not get japanese characters correct? 2-Running: exec ${skypecmd} ${progopts} $@ with the static version do you get japanese characters?

I don't get any japanese input in either case.
