I have made Skype start automatically at login via Startup Applications, and my ~/.local/share/applications/skype.desktop (which takes precedence over /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop) would keep calling skype. Ok, Startup Applications isn't exactly a hardly promoted feature nowadays, but I suppose we are a few that somehow have made Skype start at login. Also, people are used to be able to just say skype in a terminal window or in the Alt+F2 command line thing. It's the natural command for starting an application named skype. :) For those reasons I for one think that letting the wrapper keep the name /usr/bin/skype and moving the binary is preferable before renaming the wrapper and editing .desktop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1155327 Title: skype crashed with SIGSEGV in malloc@plt() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1155327/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
