Because the fact that you logged in and made a user-level skin
selection should not have any effect on what *other* users see when
they log in.  You made a *user*-level selection, not a system-wide
one.

No; just put that code into its rightful place and you'll see if there
are.  I suppose you can look in config/plugin_hooks.php for
"menuline", but it is also possible for a plugin to *dynamically*
register itself on that hook.

Your exclamation doesn't answer the question.  As I said, it should
not be necessary, and you need to explain why you found it to be so.
