[Zope-CMF] cannot get authenticated user

[Florent Guillaume]

portal_membership.getAuthenticatedMember() basically does
getSecurityManager().getUser() (then wraps it in a MemberData
datastructure) so it won't help.

The user is authenticated only when traversal has finished. But setting
the skin is done during traversal...
