Skype via VNC

[Peter Easthope <peasthope@cablelan.net>]

Hello Debian users,

Skype 1.3.0.53 works well under Etch and kernel
2.6.16 here.  Mostly I prefer to use the system
via VNC from another machine but Skype refuses
to start for the VNC client.  (The cable of the
headset reaches easily.)

Is this a restriction coded in Skype?  Does
anyone know know how to work around it?

Thanks,        Peter E.
