📄 Description

It seems that default Skype profile, introduced in 4faa338ca7, is and exact duplicate of Steam profile. Thus, Skype has access to Steam directories.
Besides, file containing Skype account credentials could be stolen and used to login from another machine.

Thus in this commit, I:

blacklisted ~/.Skype directory in disable-common.inc
revoked Skype access to Steam dirs, and granted it access to Skype dirs in skype.profile
