Update to previously written findings: Empathy starts ok (occasionally with wrong notification "Password required", see bug #840875) but skype doesn't start ever. When I have tried some zenity dialogs into script, they didn't show, but empathy has started:
#!/bin/bash sleep 10 xinput --set-button-map "Laser Mouse" 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 8 9 empathy -h zenity --display=:0 --info --text="Starting Skype..." start-skype.sh Very strange...
