Which windowing environment? I recently learned how to always open
GnuCash files in UTC timezone (*) which in Xfce involved right-clicking
one of the files, then instead of associating with "gnucash %f"
associating it with:

   bash -c "TZ=UTC gnucash %f"

I was surprised it worked, but it did :-)

So, if you set up a desktop shortcut to run a bash command that starts
Skype, instead of Skype directly, maybe it will work for you?
