The line:

*FvwmWinListUseSkipList

simply tells the winlist module to use the list.

>From the man page:

     *FvwmWinListUseSkipList
          Tells FvwmWinList to not show the windows that are
          listed on a WindowListSkip line if the configuration
          file.

What may be contributing to the confusion is the wording on the man
page, it is refering to the 1.x .fvwmrc-type config file.

(Chuck, note the reference to the 1.x config file, and the faulty
grammer.)

The actual list is created thru the style lines:

Style "Fvwm*" WindowListSkip
Style "etc" WindowListSkip
