Description arne anka 2009-08-09 18:31:03 UTC

Version:           0.70.90 (using 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.29.4

- at almost all places a tooltip pops up "if you have problems with arts and sounds, you can use this to turn off arts ... "
- "step two: account information", tab "launch":
-- the link one is directed to can neither be c&p'd (a bad habit mots kde apps and dialog share) nor is it in fact a link to be clicked on
-- the skype.com page is confusing -- i am not skype developer and i can't figure out, what of the information provided there is in fact useful. the only thing looking relevant is the skype.conf for dbus -- and that file with the very same content exists already. what am i supposed to do now?
-- "launch when not running" seems to be ignored -- i frequently get a skype login dialog (why? i checked "sign me in when skype starts" and skype never asks anymore.), with a red line saying "a second instance may be running" -- either the radio button does not work or the check for running skype does not work

- "step two: account information", tab "connection":
-- what is "non-standard authorization"?

- "Could not find Skype.
You need to install the original dynamic linked Skype version 2.0 binary from http://www.skype.com" pops up even before i logged on -- and nevertheless, the message is, to say the least, confusing -- me getting the skype sign on dialog obviously menas, that skye in fact was found.
has that to do with me running amd64 and skype in 32bit emulation (dynamically linked)?
as said before, the skype.com page is no help here.

Skype account configuraion widget is only ported from old KDE3 version of this plugin. In KDE3 was arts, in KDE4 isnt. And all radio buttons doesnt work. (Launch Skype, DBus bus type)

"non-standard authorization" is name which show in skype client:
A program "autorisation name" is trying to connect to Skype. Do you want to allow it?

And if you right click --> What's this (or button "?" in window title) it show message about all options.

I need create new account configuration widget with up to date settings.
