KDE theme/splashscreen problem with Slack 12


I can't for the life of me figure out how to load new KDE themes, splash screens, etc... into KDE. I can re-compile a kernel, install Slack 12 on laptop, get wireless working, etc... but damn if I can install a simple theme...

Here is what I am doing:

1. I download the splash screen from kde-look.org.
2. Unzip the .tar
3. Open up KDE control center, go to splash screen, click add
4. Browse to where the "Theme.rc" file is located

But it never shows up in the the Add Theme control center. I can't even see the Theme.rc file with the browse filter set to KSplash Theme files...

???

Its there. Unzipped and all. But I can't see it or select it from the KDE control center.

Suggestions??

Why do you unzip downloaded tarball? Use downloaded tarball as input file instead Theme.rc. It works for me.
