@gunnarhj: Yes, I also tried it with both libqtwebkit4 2.2.1 and 2.3.0.
Whatever was causing the problem, seemed to be from the upgrade of some
other package when upgrading to raring. Investigating further with gdb,
I found this:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x08075f44 in malloc@plt ()
(gdb) bt
#0  0x08075f44 in malloc@plt ()

#6  0xb7fed2fc in ?? () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2
#7  0xb7fdf1df in ?? () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2

That indicated some issue with libglib2.0-0. I was using the latest
GNOME packages, including libglib 2.37.0 from the ricotz testing PPA. I
reverted it back to 2.36.0, and now Skype works again. The issue I was
facing was not related to libGL, and I have resolved it for now. But I
thought of pointing this out, because maybe Skype will still crash for
anybody running with a newer version of glib, irrespective of which
graphics driver they are running.
