Um...you guys are making this harder then it really is.
1) open theme manager
2) click on the add button
3) insert cursor in the filter field
4) change .ktheme to read *.* and hit ENTER
This will allow you to see all the theme .tar.gz files in the dir where
you've naviaged to provided they are indeed there.
5) choose the theme you wish to install by a single click and then click
"OK"
6) hit apply and you're done.
Now...this works great with all themes prior to KDE2.0 themes. (KDE1.1.2)
The themes for KDE2.0 and above are a bit different and don't seem to work
so good. There's nothing really wrong with Theme Manager other then the
fact that it looks for files with the .ktheme extension by default instead
of looking for "All files" when the file dialog is opened.
