This problem only happens on certain setups and we have been unable to find 
out why it's happening. Skype should (and does) work as a normal user and 
shouldn't require any permission changes.

Please post the output of any errors you're seeing and the output of uname -a. 
Also, how are you starting skype? What linux_base are you running?
