I faced the same problem, but the dynamic version seems to work(*).

(*) I said seems to work because in my machine the gnome session crashes as
soon as I try to open skype's configuration window, but this is something
that was also happening with the previous version and also happens with
other applications (e.g. calibre). I think the problem comes from my
installation and not from skype or calibre. I'll treat the problem in a
separate thread as soon as I get more information.
