What works
installation, launching the application, logging on, and basic chat.
What does not
Voice and video. Does not detect the webcam.
Launching the application will show a dialog from Wine claiming that the application has crashed. However, it's still loading in the background, and subsequently works. I'm wondering if it's a dialog for a subprocess or helper application that Skype attempts to launch.
Workarounds
What was not tested
Extended functions, file transfers, etc.
