Fix Skype on OS X 10.9 Mavericks
I was very upset to find out that Slype doesn't work on freshly installed OS X 10.9 Maverick Developer Preview 1. However, there's a quick workaround for that issue: Install an older version.
As for Skype 2.8, It works flawlessly. By flawlessly I mean, that the following works:
- Messaging
- Group Messaging
- Calls
- Group Calls
- VideoCalls
- File Transfers
I'm beginning to fall in love with that old version of Skype.

I reinstalled 2.8 as you said and worked ok, I also tried the offered upgrade to 6.3 and all seems to be working ok now on this version with 10.9
Version 6.0.0.2946 works fine as well:

I found this on the Skype boards:

6.3.0.602 works, and have current interface :)
It hangs though on wakeup.
