📄 Description

I hope these are in-order, since this profile is a bit of an unusual one.

I added Skype's config directory to whitelist and mkdir, since otherwise the session is lost when closing and re-running it, requiring logging in again each time it's run.

I also hardened the D-Bus aspect of the profile: I started out blocking everything, and then unblocked the necessary bit. Surprisingly, Skype will log out immediately after starting without org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher, I've no idea about the correlation. It's probably good to keep it around for tray users too anyway.

Ran a test call and it worked fine. User session is retained when quitting/re-running too.
