Ubuntu 12.10 skype 4.1 cannot properly run wrapper

Question

I installed downloaded skype from official website "Ubuntu 12.04 (multiarch)" and installed it. Then I followed these steps:

Quit Skype if running

Uninstall Skype IF you installed it from the repositories.

Reboot

Choose your Skype version (32/64 Bit) to download and install it

Make sure you added the repository ppa:skype-wrapper/ppa

In terminal console, run

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:skype-wrapper/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype-wrapper python-skype After that, run in terminal console

skype-wrapper
Acknowledge the pop up authorization requests (don't forget to check the boxes to remember the selection)

Restart and done!

But sadly none of the functions of Skype Wrapper are working. Is there a way to fix this?

I dragged and dropped this version

skype-wrapper

from this location /usr/share/application/

onto the Launcher.
