I can't tell you why the GUI isn't working, I generally don't mess with that stuff. You want to put your new theme in a new directory under:
/opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/themes/
Then, to use it, you need to edit:
/etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
Find:
[X-*-Greeter]
...
Theme=/opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/themes/SUSE
and change it to the directory you added. Also make sure that:
UseTheme=true
is set. (It's set by default)
It should take effect on the next login, you can test it by doing "Switch User"/"Start New Session". If it doesn't work, just select your old session in the "system" menu and try again. (no need to log out)
