Description Ravi G. 2009-07-08 13:16:27 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I installed Skype using the .deb package downloaded from the Skype website. But when I ran "Computer Janitor" 3 weeks later, it completely removed Skype. As far as my understanding goes, "Computer Janitor" is suppose to work like the "Windows Clean-up" utility in Windows where only the unnecessary is removed and not the programs. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Skype from www.skype.com
2. Run Computer Janitor from step 3
3. gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/computer-janitor-gtk.desktop computer-janitor-gtk


Actual results:
Skype is uninstalled.

Expected results:
Skype is uninstalled.

Does this happen every time?
Only tested once. I will let you guys test it a 2nd time.

Other information:
Name: Computer Janitor
Command:  gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/computer-janitor-gtk.desktop computer-janitor-gtk
Comment: Clean up a system so it's more like a freshly installed one

Oh...a typo there...the Expected results is NOT to have programs like Skype uninstalled.

Thank you for the bug report, but unfortunately this is not a GNOME bug.  GNOME does not ship or support Skype or Computer Janitor in our platform.  You probably want to check with your Linux distribution (Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, etc) and file a bug in their bug tracker.

Thanks.
