@Rainer,
Actually, having a workaround by definition lessens the severity, as if
someone wants to still run Skype, they can. With that said, I
understand your frustration...and have a solution ;-):
1) Place the attached "skype-workaround" file in /usr/local/bin:
$ sudo cp skype-workaround /usr/local/bin
2) Set it to execution mode:
$ chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/skype-workaround
3) Backup /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop:
$ sudo cp /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop /root/skype.desktop.bak
4) Place the attached "skype.desktop" file in /usr/share/applications:
$ sudo cp skype.desktop /usr/share/applications
Done. Now when you or your wife select the icon, it should start.
