kupfer doesn't see skype

[Anton K <vangop gmail com>]

Hi,
I had some mess with skype launcher. It was on the main menu, but I
couldn't remove it. So I went to
.local/share/applications and found it there - myskype.desktop along
with a bunch of myskype.desktop-undoX files.
I removed them alltogether.
But now kupfer doesn't see skype.desktop at all, which is present in a
lot of places:
/.local/share/applications/panel$ ll
drwxr-xr-x 2 ak ak 4096 2010-11-06 08:57 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 ak ak 4096 2010-11-06 08:46 ../
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ak ak  294 2010-07-03 16:55 CR2.desktop*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ak ak  182 2010-07-02 16:43 eclipse-1.desktop*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ak ak  181 2010-11-06 08:57 skype.desktop*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ak ak  284 2010-09-16 10:30 skypex.desktop.old*
(All the above apps are visible to kupfer, but skype)

$ll /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 169 2010-05-24 22:37
/usr/share/applications/skype.desktop

I'm on ubuntu 10.04.
Thanks
