Lines 216 and 217 may need clarification. I think SkyBox Image Asset is simply the image that is displayed, and it doesn't contribute to lighting. I am not sure what Skybox Image Asset (Alt) actually does. It seems to always use the diffuse lighting cubemap... maybe it's used for LoD or debugging scenarios?

Both Skybox Image Asset and Skybox Image Asset (Alt) hold diffuse lighting cubemap. The user can toggle Enable Alternate Skybox from the General settings, in order to use the Skybox Image Asset (Alt).
The purpose of this is that artists often use both a high-detailed cubemap, and a low-detailed diffuse version as an alternative option. The alternative allows them to view their material with a less distracting background, while still under the same lighting conditions.

What happens when it's enabled? What does selecting it at start-up do?

Auto-select property is being removed, so I will remove that here. Previously, it would load the preset when the Material Editor first launches.
