Actually, I've just tried that and the launcher's now on my desktop - but how do I launch skype? When I (right) click on it nothing happens or try to launch from the command line, I get these errors:
skype: error while loading shared libraries: libsigc-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Are you sure you did not get the Dynamic instead of the Static version of skype ... or maybe somehow get the version out of your RPM.
Johnny, Yes, I got the static version skype_static-1.4.0.118.tar.bz2 - sorry, not quite sure what you mean by 'get the version out of your RPM'?
Thanks, Andy

qt is this:
Summary : The shared library for the Qt GUI toolkit.
Description : Qt is a GUI software toolkit which simplifies the task of writing and maintaining GUI (Graphical User Interface) applications for the X Window System.
Qt is written in C++ and is fully object-oriented.
Basically ... all of KDE and many other applications are built using QT ... and they would all need to be rebuilt if you upgraded QT. Only a couple high visibility packages (like kernel, python, gcc and glibc) are more important to the operation of your workstation than QT.
