I found an interesting project (skypathy)
what this project does is runs skype via empathy (sky-pathy)
with the help from a pidgin plugin that also works with empathy
pidgin-skype i installed everything like so
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:skype-wrapper/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install skype skype-wrapper empathy pidgin-skype
sudo apt-get remove sni-qt
then run the skype first. then skype-wrapper give permissions and empathy i am making an .desktop file but don't now how to start them all one after the other. and the sudo apt-get remove sni-qt should remove my skype icon from the unity-panel bit it doesn't.this is how my .desktop file looks like

i also tried to change the "Exec=" to a scripts that runs the apps
