Just note, this is Debian "testing".. things are likely to be broken. I don't know and can't predict what.
The future of Debian itself is in doubt (systemd fiasco, which affects all other distros)
At the moment, TDE is gaining ground as just about the only fully-functional DE out there for those of us who do not wish to run systemd. The only other alternative seems to be openbox (a WM rather than a DE).
Here, a recompiled dbus has removed all systemd dependencies (although I dont use the full TDE "meta"). I just got back "suspend" in TDE logout thanks to consolekit2.
I really don't have a clue about skype.
From reading various reports on systemd, I like the idea of a DE that doesn't use it. Given the uncertainty about Debian, I might go to using Gentoo, or look into the feasibility of using TDE in one of the BSDs.
