Well after reading through this thread perhaps I am not so embarrassed to have asked the question. It appears this has bothered others. But if I understand the thread correctly, it is still not resolved, and applies to other things besides skype --- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...bug/965953
I am really not sure what to make of these last two messages and whether they are an advisable way to go:

I'm using Xubuntu with the panel at the bottom of the screen and I have fixed the scroll problem by removing xfce4-indicator-plugin and indicator-application (I also removed all Unity indicator-* packages). This way Xfce can directly use the notification area. Another solution was to use dbus-launch nm-applet http://askubuntu.com/questions/449658/ne...285_458800
