A click on OK saves the settings. Skype needs to be restarted before it runs in compatibility mode. It is now possible to minimize the Skype window and close the taskbar icon by right-clicking so that Skype does not appear in the Windows 7 taskbar all the time. A side-effect is that the jumplist is no longer available. A better solution is found in the Skype options. Click the advanced tab afterwards, and locate "Keep Skype in the taskbar while I'm signed in".
Unchecking that option ensures that Skype will not stay in the taskbar if minimized. Please note that you need to disable the compatibility mode first for this option to become available. Skype still needs to be closed in the taskbar after the window has been minimized. This is done by right-clicking Skype and selecting Close Window from the context menu. The problem with option 2 is that EVERY time there is a skype update, you have to go back in the preference window to uncheck that box!
