Closing Skype on Ubuntu does not work. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and Skype 2.2.0.35.

When I try to use Skype on subsequent occasions, it says Skype is still running. I have to kill it the hard way.

Presently I use ps ax | grep skype and then I issue kill -9 on the PIDs. There are 3 PIDs to be killed.

How can I terminate Skype in such a way that I don't have to issue kills?
