- It is possible to hide Skype. First, go to Skype configuration dialog. Then disable all notifications of incoming messages and calls (uncheck all the 'Popup chat window' options and these around). And you can configure it to start minimized. Another thing you can do is hiding it's icon in 'Configure System Tray' dialog (you can get there by clicking the small arrow on the left side of the system tray).
- You can start Skype on top of arts. First thing, disable session management for Skype (KDE Control enter, KDE Components, Session Manager and write 'skype' to line called 'Applications to be excluded from sessions'). In the configuration dialog of the account (Kopete, Settings, Configure, Accounts, double-click 'Skype') enable launching Skype (Launch tab, select 'When not running') and make sure that the command line starts with 'artsdsp'.
- - If you have sound problems when running Skype with arts, you can use the scripts a bit. First, make sure Skype is not launched with artsdsp (the command line should not contain 'artsdsp'). Then, go to 'Calls tab' and enable 'Execute before call'. Then, find script called 'call_start' on your disk (it should be placed somewhere in your KDE directory/share/apps/kopete) and write it with the whole path into the line below. Then, check 'Execute after call' and 'Only for last call' and the same way, find script 'call_end' and write it there (it should be in the same directory). This will turn off all sounds when you start a call to allow Skype access the sound card and restore the sounds after the call ends.

- You may want to make Skype ringing to arts. You can use 'Execute on incoming call' and write there something like 'artsplay NAME_OF_THE_SOUND_YOU_WANT_TO_PLAY'
