Skype4.0 uses a popup notifier that has the answer the phone button on it and no where else. The only way that I can get the popup to reappear when it doesn't work is to restart Skype. Unfortunately usually I find it isn't working when I can't answer and incoming call.
I did the following. I uninstalled the xscreensaver. I already had the monitor being powered down by the xfce power manager. I started Skype yesterday. It is still answering today I tested it with the Options, Notifiers, Incoming call ringing. and test. The test didn't work when it was not working correctly.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xscreensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/545894 Title: notifications appear over screensaver Status in “xscreensaver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In Xubuntu Lucid, popup notifications such as new IMs, people signing in etc. appear over the top of the screensaver. This is possibly the same as Bug #21172 but that is "Fix Released" and the last post is in 2005.
