--- Comment #3 from Gabriele Giacone <1o5g4r8o at gmail.com> ---
AFAIK only dbus (prpl-b-skype-dbus) and x11 (prpl-b-skype) api are maintained,
skypenet one isn't.

https://developer.skype.com/desktop-api-reference#Transport

Both libpurple plugins exist and work with pidgin, hard saying which one is
better.
I successfully tested both with t-haze too, but x11 one would need t-haze also
load X11 libs.
Excluding rebuilding t-haze linked to such libs (unless you think it wouldn't
be a big issue), the cleanest way I found to make it load both plugins is
something like

-Exec=/usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-haze
+Exec=/bin/sh -c 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so
/usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-haze'

in .service file and duplicating protocol line:

+    { "skype-dbus", "prpl-bigbrownchunx-skype-dbus", NULL, "x-skype" },
+    { "skype-x11", "prpl-bigbrownchunx-skype", NULL, "x-skype" },


Would it be a real issue adding -lX11 for an optional libpurple plugin like
this one?
If it would, any better ways than replacement in .service file?
