Skype for windows is in ... i dont know... version 2.5 or something. the linux
version is 12.0.18 , with 1.3 still on Beta. Video was introduced in the 2.x
series at least, so I think you'll be out of luck with native video on Skype.

there *may* be a 3rd party app that may speak to the skype api to allow for
video, but i haven't heard or seen of any of the unix world.

I'd love to be proven wrong though :)
