Re: [orca-list] Skye and Orca

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

I do not know what you are talking about. 
I am running skype on arch-Linux, updated a few days ago. 
Things do not appear much different. My contacts appear as they always have, and I made a skype out call, as 
well as a test call; both worked as always. 
Are you saying that we can't get to the skype website via the linux skype client?
If so, is this a very big problem?
Is there something important we can not do?
I assume I can still do things opn the website from firefox or chrome, but will check if I have time later on 
tonight or tomorrow.
