Me too -- the skin furniture wikipages (e.g. Site.ActionList)
inevitably have vspaces where no such things are required or desired. 
This happens in regular wikipages too, but it's a lot less annoying in
them.  My admittedly imperfect solution is to class the divs
containing the skin furniture with "novspace", and then use this
stylesheet:

/* LAYOUT: OVERRIDES: NO VSPACE */
/* forces the browser to pretend that the vspace paragraphs PmWiki
inserts aren't there, but only in certain parts of the page -- mostly
parts that are pulled from Pukka's configuration wikipages */

.novspace p.vspace {
	display:none !important;
	}

It's done as an on-by-default override so that it's easy to turn off.
