recovering messed-up skins?

i have some problems on my server because some users have messed up their main skins with either recursive calls or by deleting the macro for the response. first question is how can i fix this easily? second question is about avoiding future problems. can you use the default template for the skin manager ? i think the skin manager should be available even if the user makes mistage with the main skin.

two possible solutions

either we always use standard skinset for the skinmanager, or we add a special ?skinmode=panic query parameter that results in the standard skinset being used.

either way is fine with me

the skin manager is in the admin area and it doesn't need to look like the public part of the site. even a minimal template with a home link and a logout link only would be okay. i don't think we need a calendar and the recent mods here. it's even better not to use the skins for navigation or user status since they might as well be the source for recursive calls.
