Nixpkgs: Skypeforlinux asks for login details always after start

[angordeyev]

Skype does not save login and password.

To Reproduce
Install package on a fresh system with KDE.

Expected behavior
Skype will save login and password, no need to enter it each time.

Maintainer information:

# a list of nixpkgs attributes affected by the problem
attribute: skypeforlinux

skype uses gnome keyring

1) enable gnome keyring in your configuration.nix:

services.gnome3.gnome-keyring.enable = true;

2) either set up the right password in the gnome keyring yourselves
(e.g. using seahorse gui)
or easier

- ensure that ~/.local/share/keyrings is empty

- reboot

- start skypeforlinux

- login

- quit

- next time you start skypeforlinux, it will take your login details from the keyring
