Growl + Skype = Nada

I have Growl .7.4 and Skype 1.5.0.8.

Growl is working for all of my other apps..Safari, iTunes. But with Skype no dice. Skype is registered with Growl. The preferences in Skype saying to use Growl, and with Skype enabled in my Growl preference pane, i'm getting the default Skype notification alerting me to a call and to press answer or reject but nothing from Skype. :???:

Any suggestions?

Here is the log for Growl where I made several calls from my cell to my SkypeIn # and there is nothing.

hmm.. And every other app works?

One thought is that some applications will only notify while in the background. I think Skype might be one of those.

If that doesn't work, you'll probably want to contact Skype support about the problem. Refer them to this thread if you like. Basically if Growl isn't seeing anything then it's not going to notify. Your logging proves it isn't getting the notifications you think it should be getting.


One other thing to try is to delete the Skype item in the Applications tab of Growl.
