I've follwed the install guide from OMG Ubuntu but it didn't work. (http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/how-to-add-skype-to-the-ubuntu-messaging-menu/)

Installed:

- python-skype: 1.0.31.0-2
- skype-wrapper_0ubuntu5-3_all.deb

Skype-wrapper asks for permission, but then never starts in the messaging menu.

Added the PPA and updated to skype-wrapper 0ubuntu5-4. Same behavior.

Deleted permission inside skype and runned again. Same behavior.

My system:
Ubuntu 11.10
Skype 2.2.0.35
PPA for skype-wrapper
Telepathy uninstalled
Pidgin + pidgin-skype plugin

Terminal output:
$ skype-wrapper
