Description of problem: Skype is loaded using a shell script (/usr/bin/skype) executed by bash. The way the script is now, a bash process stays idle, in memory, while skype is running. With a small change to the script the bash process would only run in the beginning to launch skype. /usr/bin/skype NOW: #!/bin/bash LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so /usr/share/skype/skype /usr/bin/skype AFTER CHANGE: #!/bin/bash LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so exec /usr/share/skype/skype Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): get-skype-4.3.0.37-5.mga5.nonfree How reproducible: Always

This version of skype will no longer work after the first of July so there is no point in fixing this now. Closing as RESOLVED/WONTFIX.
