Skin not being changed

As far as I remember things were working, with the changes always taking effect only after restart on OS X/Windows, and then abs1nth made some changes to get it to reload the first time but require restart the next time. Something else must have been messed up in those changes, because I didn't test it after that (until recently, though I thought it was acting funny). You're right though Joe, it is all the display options, not just the skin...

I say go for it and make the changes. I want it to work properly on Linux, and I think we should always require restart on Windows and OS X. Here's my reasoning:
* If we let them do it once they will be confused why they must restart the next time.
* id gets away with always requiring a restart in Quake 4, so it's not unreasonable.
* Consistency is always better.
* Always requiring a restart is much, much simpler to code, and to understand for anyone reading the code.
