xfskin does nothing else than to allow you to store your current
desktop configuration in a 'skin', ore restore another one.

At the moment we share skins at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xfskin

How about filling something in there? : When you make a skin:
-skin name
-author name
-at least one comment line
are required

give it a name', though most people figured that out themselves.
