Public bug reported:

'On 64bit Ubuntu systems, Skype uses the Clearlooks theme instead of the
default Ubuntu theme, Ambiance (this also happens with other themes).

This occurs because Skype is a 32bit application and the GTK2 theme
engine (Murrine or Pixmap in most cases) is not installed for 32bit.'

Quoted from http://www.webupd8.org/2014/03/fix-skype-not-using-desktop-
gtk-theme.html

Whilst this is an article from 2 years ago, the bug still exists today.
The Skype amd64 package should at least recommend these packages (gtk2
-engines-murrine:i386 gtk2-engines-pixbuf:i386) so that more people
don't come across this bug (apt automatically installs recommended
packages if possible, right?)
