[Zope-CMF] Portal Skin and cookie

[Jens Vagelpohl]

gitte,

the skin selection is set as a cookie on the user's browser. so if your 
check sets this cookie and then, in the same browser session, you come in 
from another place you might not see the change you want because the 
cookie has not expired.

i suggest you add a second check wherever you added the check for HTTP 
REFERER and explicitly set the skin cookie to use "Basic" if its value is 
not "Basic" and the HTTP_REFERER is not your special site.
