Skin issues in linux

The context menu interface/preferences doesn't work, and also interface shows TWO extended preferences choices (both work).
This is a problem when trying skins, I can get to preferences IF there is a the pref button.
If there is no pref button, I can restore at the command prompt with vlc -I qt (actually I've been using vlc -I default). I found that on this page viewtopic.php?f=15&t=21214&start=45#p181190

Is there an easier way to load skins?
I tried to associate vlt files with vlc but it didn't do anything.
Also, every time I browse for skins it forgets the path...

You can copy all .vlt files either in ~/.local/share/vlc/skins2 (for one user) or /usr/share/vlc/skins2 (for all users)

All skins detected in either directories are proposed in the "Select skins" subitem in the popupmenu (right click)
