I had the same error.

In my case it depended to xorg.conf

I have a NvidiaCard inside my Laptop, and for another program i created the xorg.conf - file through the Button "Save to X Configuration File".

To this time everything worked fine, but after this Skype crash after the launch. So I deleted the File (xorg-conf).

Now Skype works normally, there is also the same failure - Message in the Terminal but it runs.
