My experience of the ERP space is that visual
application design tends to be pretty divorced from
interaction design, which makes skinning a reasonable
possibility.

I agree with Miguel that you don't want user-defined
skins. Ever. 

However, I do see the value in re-skinning to provide
co-branding possibilities, to integrate better with an
intranet, to meet the corporate visual ID needs of the
implementing enterprise. I would certainly expect to
be in control of the skin, and to treat is as a
system, not as a lego set of disparate parts.
