I found this link which helped me:

Here's what I did:
1. in a terminal type:
Paste this into the text file:
3. Save the file. Close gedit.
4. Enter the following into the terminal:
5. right-click on the Menu button on your panel.
6. Alter the Skype shortcut to launch "/usr/local/bin/skype" instead of "skype %U"
This should run fine. Note, I am running X86_64 Linux Mint 14 w/ Cinnamon.
