Importing FOAF / SKOS ontologies with Protege OWL

I''ve been having some tribulations with importing the well-known ontologies (FOAF and SKOS) properly in Protege 3.4 (build 108)

First problem - what to import?
Simple question, but no immediately obvious answer. BTW has something changed here recently - as I seem to remember this being simple in the past??

I'm now importing OK from...

• SKOS: http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core/owl-dl/skos-core-owl-dl.owl
• foaf:
  http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/index.rdf

Second Problem - Protege errors
I wouldn't expect too much drama here as these are well travelled paths?

foaf won't import...

...lots more

Curious that I get different behaviour (on my OSX leopard system) depending on how I start Protege.

• from the protege.app the ontology loads, but the properties tab is broken (red box)
• from run_protoge.sh I get the error output above and the ontology doesn't load

Ok, I checked the latest build (128) and I get almost the same behaviour.

And finally protege 4.0 (alpha) build 61, which Does work - however it's a completely new UI experience.
