Crashes imediately unless sudo (Arch Linux)

I just installed the AUR package, and when I launch the program either through /opt/skype_unofficial_client/skype or /usr/bin/skype-desktop, it flashes the window and the Skype logo and crashes before reaching the login screen. There is no output related to the crash; only one line: "[0302/090355:INFO:nw_package.cc(175)] /opt/skype_unofficial_client/skype". After some fiddling, I figured out that it works fine if I run it with sudo. I've tried chmodding and chowning /opt/skype_unofficial_client to be writable by me, but neither of those methods work. I simply have to run it as root.

(gksu also works)
