Yes, I know the solutions are:

1) Switching to Gnome

2) Stay (or downgrade in the case) to KDE 4.4

3) Wait until skype's give a solution

4) Only use 32 bit systems

I do not ask fedora to stop innovation in pro of propietary software (that's
crazy) But I wanted you to know this because I
wanted to know if there's something we can do to help the user... Anyway,
let the time advances... The future will give us a veredict.

Thank's for your answers...
