i assume you unlock gnome keyring by logging process in kde environment.

if you install the rpm from skype repo
then
randomly and cyclically when you start pc then log in kde session skype says that it has been disconnected then it asks for you again the id and password of your profile and the gnome keyring pwd.

if you install Skype with “one click” install from here https://software.opensuse.org/package/skype
then
definitively no more problem.

in https://software.opensuse.org/package/skype
click on “experimental packets”
then
in line “network:telephony …” click on “one click install”

skype update in network:telephony repo is published a few hours after skype repo update

My solution is not good. Randomly Skype is disconnected.

So now I use kdocker, Chrome and web.skype.com. See https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/533989-kde-docking-an-app-in-systray

With this script to launch during kde session opening:


#!/bin/bash
sleep 1m 45s
/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --profile-directory=Default --app=https://web.skype.com
while  true ]
do
   sleep 5
   status=$(wmctrl -l | grep "Skype")
   if  "$status" != "" ] ; then
      break
   fi
done
WID="$(wmctrl -lx | grep "Skype")"; kdocker -qtw "${WID%% *}" -i ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/chrome-pakpgkfddlphnhhpjailhknmgghmephf-Default.png
