That's not possible if the OP can start a new instance. The OP stated:
The absence is not merely cosmetic. Without that icon once I close the Skype dialog window I know of no other way to activate a desktop dialog window with the running Skype instance. Running Skype again gives the warning that another instance is already running and then quits.
Yeah, I read the rest of OP's mail just after I send my mail :( I was in a stupid hurry.
