Comment 97 for bug 1155327

@gunnarhj: Yes, I also tried it with both libqtwebkit4 2.2.1 and 2.3.0. Whatever was causing the problem, seemed to be from the upgrade of some other package when upgrading to raring. Investigating further with gdb, I found this:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

(gdb) bt

That indicated some issue with libglib2.0-0. I was using the latest GNOME packages, including libglib 2.37.0 from the ricotz testing PPA. I reverted it back to 2.36.0, and now Skype works again. The issue I was facing was not related to libGL, and I have resolved it for now. But I thought of pointing this out, because maybe Skype will still crash for anybody running with a newer version of glib, irrespective of which graphics driver they are running.
