Interesting. Frankly, I have no experience with Skype but have an important need (actually, a few needs) to get on-board with it soon (like yesterday). I still use 8.04.3 because it works flawlessly for me, for what I do and have intended to upgrade (finally) to 12.04, mainly to do Skype. I think I need to get on the stick, install a quick instance of 12.04 on some partition, and try to run Skype. Been procrastinating! Thanks for your input re your experience with it.

That's an encouraging note, tomp01! A[nother] motivator to implement 12.04. Thanks for the info.

One other thing though, Skype still has a tendency to crash several times before finally working. That's not specific to Kubuntu as it happens in KDE Mint 12 and Zorin OS 5.2 as well. It would be nice if somebody could explain why that is. I should also say that I was prompted for an upgrade so you ought to see the same thing.

I have just upgraded to 12.04 from 11.10 and miracles do happen. Skype is finally working again! Of course I had to turn up the volume on the USB microphone but that's just a minor quibble.
