I have Cpanel from PowerSurge. I've got a couple of questions no one has answered at support.cpanel.net.

1) How do I change the default page that displays when I login to WHM? Currently it shows hard drive usage, but I would like for it to display the system status page.

2) Files from the skel directory aren't getting copied when I setup an account on a dedicated IP. But it works fine when they are setup on the main shared IP.

Ok, I lied. There are 3 questions.
3) How do I increase the timeout for Proftpd? It's set at 300 and it's really annoying some of my customers. I added a TimeoutNoTransfer line to /etc/proftpd.conf and restarted proftpd, but it didn't do any good.

Well I can answer only your 3)
add a line with
TimeoutIdle 1000 (that are seconds)
Restart proftpd
Voila :)

Actually, I should have mentioned that I had that already did that, but it didn't work. :(

does you configuration look like this?

LogFormat BytesLog "%b"
ServerType standalone
DeferWelcome off
DefaultServer on
DefaultRoot ~ !wheel
AllowForeignAddress on (this is not needed, is just to allow fxp)
TimeoutIdle 1000
