Aaaarrgghhh!  Someone please fix this!

After installing the pidgin-skype package, then when trying to add a Skype account in Pidgin it crashes.  The output of pidgin -d gives:

(10:06:24) account: Connecting to account someaccount.
(10:06:24) connection: Connecting. gc = 0x2904170
(10:06:24) GLib: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory.
This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set.
The overwriting error message was: Failed to execute child process "skype" (No such file or directory)

I just want to be able to use Skype and MSN alongside each other in Pidgin.  Please make it work.
