Skype 2.2.35-0Oneiric2 version always crash my system

[frederik.gladhorn at nokia.com]

Hi,
the crash you report is caused by the Qt accessibility bridge.

Qt 4.7 will have issues with accessibility since it was too late to change some things there, so expect better results with Qt 4.8. What surprises me though is that you get an assert. I did not expect that the packaged bridge would have the asserts active. It may be worthwhile to replace the asserts by warnings since this shows a defect in the way skype or some widget exposes the accessibility information, but we can't hope to get that fixed in skype any time soon I guess.

Cheers
Frederik

When I tested I think two weeks ago with Skype a11y support, Natty version is working fine my Oneiric system, perhaps oldest time not yet awailable this version with Canonical partner repository in Natty branch.
