BUT
skype only popups when started as root.
in X i cant start skype as a user. i startit from console, xterm or kterm.
rpm was installed as root.
no screen, nothing , still hanging up and waiting
seems to be the same error as described here: http://forum.skype.com/viewtopic.php?t=45739
reinstall wont help at all, also i checked latest qt libs, its installed and up2date. at least the static one should run.
SELinux is disabled!
here is what strace says after i started....
the last few lines.....

and so on
skype at least puts not a single line. i tried skype --help , but there seems to be no options. ?
HOW to fix this? i really wont run skype as root
i use fedora3 with latest updates.
oh, and when i run skype as root, and close skype, it wont exit ! just the window goes away.... in console i can see it is running ...... until i press ctrl+c, i wait for about 3 mins.
thx in advance
