You can get this Skype here:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_skype/download/49df352bfbf7a632ed1f3c6e0d65a07e/

With default Wine 1.4-rc2 settings it just segfaults on login without producing
any backtrace even when I run it under winedbg:

Process of pid=0021 has terminated (some fixme's before that)
Wine-dbg> (nothing, we have exited)

If I set Skype.exe to Win2K I finally get quite useless bt:

Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0xffffffff in 32-bit code
(0x00587314).

No version of Skype works under Wine. It's really bad and sad since the Linux
version of Skype is not actively maintained (it's hard to say it's maintained
at all considering its annual releases) and has a lot less features than
Windows and MacOS versions.

Skype 3.x (with winver set to win98) seemingly tries to work and connect but it
seems like Skype login servers no longer support this version of the
application. It never connects.

Skype 4.x crashes on showing the login window.

Skype 5.5 and higher have their login window broken beyond repair. I tried
installing IE8 and that fixed the login window background (with gecko it's all
white) but all relevant controls disappeared without a trace, so you just
cannot enter your user name and password.
