Hi there,
what I meant was that latest lib32-qt4 package pretty much breaks skype 
client. At first it was complaining that a file was missing so you 
couldn't use skype at all. Then that got fixed, but skype is now 
segfaulting. A bug report was opened, but it will never be fixed. So you 
need to keep lib32-qt4 out of date in order to beable to run it at all. 
With this old client you can no longer join a conference call/chat if 
there are windows users in there. It will refuse you access, telling you 
to upgrade skype. Calls to individuals are still possible, but it's 
probably only a matter of time till microsoft remove support for that 
4.3 version from their servers. As to why the issue will never be fixed, 
it's because skype is old, unmaintained, and that arch no longer 
distribute it in its official repositories. Skype is the only program 
affected by this issue. For using web.skype.com you will need 
chromium+chromevox. It is a must as of now, most things are grayed out 
in firefox, and it's not that accessible even, same thing if you faked 
out your user agent to make them believe you are running chromium, it 
won't work, it is even worse.
