Linux is the main OS in my laptop and I use Skype a lot on it. Unfortunately Skype support on linux sucks! Now that Micro$oft bought $kype it should be worse! I'm gradually moving to Google talk video, but a lot of contacts (specially my family) still use Skype only.
Because is poorly developed Linux version of Skype doesn't allow resize the video window and aspect ratio. This is a pain when you have a HD Webcam because Skype always start a video call with a 640x480 ratio (HQ video call) and switch automatically to HD quality (1280x720) if your connection is higher than 30KB/s. Instead of change the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 Skype shrinks the HD video in a 4:3 frame, which make your video really weird for the other person causing a "wobbly" image effect some times.
