I'm not using it intensively but so far I haven't had any problems with it. 
So yes, I would say it is stable.

The only known problem with is a bug with the popup menu under linux (but it 
is actually a wxWindows bug, not a bug in the skins interface).

If you have problems with it, it is likely because you tried to load an old 
skin file or somthing similar (ah yeah, the "switch interface" menu in the 
wxWindows interface doesn't work on Linux - another wxWindows bug). What 
log messages do you have ?

You can do that. In fact the skins plugin uses the wxWindows interface as a 
dialog box provider (open dialog box, preferences panel, etc...).
