Yep you are following my train of thought exactly.

I'm thinking in terms of using deferred binding for skin/layout
differences it shouldn't be such a bad idea if it's small alterations
such as colours/layout.
Considering that internationalisation/browser layout differences work
along the same lines in terms of the scope of changes.

The workflow i've had it laid out in though in my head is like this:

1. default entry point with default permutation is loaded with login
form
2. user logs in with user / pass / layout
3. system checks for valid login
4. if successful login redirect back to default entry point with
<when-property-is name="skin" value="GREEN_LAYOUT"/>

My issue is on the redirect how would i go about setting the property
value that i wish to load?
Would this be appended to the URL ala locales in
internationalisation?

This then brings up another issue. If it does involve appending to the
URL what if i only wish to make the skin available to only a
particular set of users.

Else i'm thinking at this point maybe dynamically downloading and
loading skin X after login may be a better choice as opposed to
deffered binding.
