After searching, I found this page (http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/9ccf0ccb398731cf/653b2cd4ac3ea7c8?lnk=raot) in which someone had a (vaguely) similar problem. In my case it turned out there were some qt4.3.0 so's in /usr/lib, even though qt4-4.3.1-3.fc7 and qt4-devel-4.3.1-3.fc7 were installed. After searching more, I found that I did not have qt4-x11 installed locally, but some of the 4.3.0 so's were from the older version of that package. I can't think of a good reason why those so's should be there - it's a mystery to me. My solution was to yum install qt4-x11, which installed everything up to 4.3.1, and consequently the incompatibility went away. I can now run skype once again.
