What's the best way to install/use one of these? (while I may have been

For example, I downloaded 'ClearLooks Dark Orange' which gave me a single
file "Clearlooks-DarkOrange/gtk-2.0/gtkrc".  How do I install this and
make it stick on my target?

Good choice, I used that for many years.  :)

Package it up so it installs into
/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks-DarkOrange/gtk-2.0/gtkrc.

Then you'll want to override matchbox-desktop-sato which sets the
default theme name, change Sato to Clearlooks-DarkOrange.

Sorry to be dense, but I'm unclear what you mean here.

I didn't find any mention of Sato in the matchbox-desktop-sato package,
but I did in matchbox-session-sato.  It was mentioned in /etc/matchbox/session:
  exec matchbox-window-manager -theme Sato -use_desktop_mode decorated 
-use_cursor $SHOWCURSOR $@

I tried changing that line to be
  exec matchbox-window-manager -theme Clearlooks-DarkOrange -use_desktop_mode 
decorated -use_cursor $SHOWCURSOR $@
but I got this error:
  unable to open theme: 
/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks-DarkOrange/matchbox/theme.xml

None of the themes that I've downloaded include a theme.xml file.
Where do they come from?  generated by some process?
