Yes it appears to be the same problem reported at pr=117010.  By
applying the patch posted as a followup to that PR, my skype begun
to work correctly.

The strange thing is that, using the identical packages and on the
same 7.0-RELEASE, skype on one computer works, but another
doesn't.  Maybe it depends on font path configuration? as skype
seems to crash on font configuration.

All the best,

Tested Environment: 
FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE
linux_base-fc6-6_5
linux-glib2-2.6.6
skype-2.0.0.68,1 

/etc/sysctl.conf:
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16

/etc/make.conf:
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=fc6
