[rick at prophead ~]$ skype --version
Skype 4.3.0.37
© 2014 Skype and/or Microsoft

So, yes. I am using the Xfce desktop on F21, more or less fully updated.
I also have this Pulse stuff installed:

[root at prophead ~]# rpm -qa | grep pulse
pulseaudio-6.0-4.fc21.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-6.0-4.fc21.i686
pulseaudio-libs-devel-6.0-4.fc21.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-6.0-4.fc21.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-6.0-4.fc21.x86_64
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.28-3.fc21.x86_64
pulseaudio-utils-6.0-4.fc21.x86_64
pulseaudio-module-x11-6.0-4.fc21.x86_64
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-6.0-4.fc21.x86_64
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.28-3.fc21.i686

You may need the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio for 32-bit installed (Skype is
a 32-bit app).
