One thing i noticed instead. This cold be not related to what you are asking though.

I have that video calling option but this actually would work only if the account that i'm video calling to is logged into a Skype for windows. If this account i want to talk to is logged on a skyper for linux this would not work. I can start a video call but he would not get the video.
On the other side, the one at the skype for linux side cannot start a video cal to me even if the little camera and the mobile icons are shown aside me in the contact list! This is really annoying and worked in PR1.2!
