That doesn't sound right. According to the Help available from the
Themes control panel, the theme should be tarred and gzip'd when you
install it. I did try tar -zxf on one and got a directory that the
installer didn't know what to do with.

Are themes broken in Test 3? I can use the pre-installed themes,
but I can't seem to install any new ones; the list of themes
doesn't get updated.

I may be totally off here, but to get themes installed, I first
downloaded the skin (ofcourse..), then I tar -xvzf'it, installed the
.tar file and then installed the .theme file (from the theme dialog).
It seemed to work for me, but I may have been drunk at the time since
it was friday night, and I have saturday off.
