It appears I had some shared /usr/lib/libvlc* libraries that were being 
included in the compiles. I removed them, updated wxWidgets to 2.6 and I 
now have my default skin back :). It wasn't the wxWidgets upgrade as I 
had done that first and it did not fix the problem.

On this same machine I also have to enable vlc_WORKAROUNDLDFLAGS to get 
a compile to work, so obvious it's time to renew my laptop distribution :).
