Install themes on FC3

[Sam Johnson]

Hello,
I am trying to install the Clearlooks metacity theme.  When I drag the
theme's tarball file into the install theme dialog, the tarball appears
in the field, but whe I click OK, the theme does not appear in the
window.  I am acquiring the theme from Gnome-Look.org.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try unpacking the theme in the .themes directory under you home directory.

set the permissions to 777 on the theme file and try again....

I had the same problem and doing that fixed it. It didn't give me an error 
or anything, but that is what fixed it....
