[kde-linux] Splash screen import errors

[Thomas Taylor]

I'm trying to customize my desktop after years of using the defaults, 
but I'm running into problems.  I'm able to change the wallpaper okay 
but not the kde splash screen.

When I go to Start > Configure Desktop > Appearance > Splash Screen > 
Get New Themes, it takes me to the kde-look.org page, but I haven't been 
able to install the splash images I want.

When I click "install", it displays the circling balls but doesn't 
install anything.  In two cases it shows the busy balls then goes back 
to the menu (images: BlueLinuxSplash, Simple Swirled).  When I try to 
install two others (BlueElectric, KStarboard Splash), the busy balls 
appear and then the install box changes to uninstall.  However, after I 
reboot, I find nothing has been installed and no additions have made to 
the splash screen menu (see attachment).

Is this a bug in the factory version or am I trying to install 
incorrectly?
