This has been apparent since kde-4.x Expected results: Should be able to install a Theme locally or via the net Additional info:Comment from Rex Dieter "Theme manager should be looking in /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/"
kdmtheme is no longer available in F9. This bug report is targeted to kdebase.

I think this is probably better to track separately after all, so I reopened this bug.

What I don't understand is why the new kstandarddirs patch isn't fixing this.
FYI: [g6avk@localhost ~]$ ls -la /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm total 32 drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2008-07-28 20:21 . drwxr-xr-x 198 root root 4096 2008-07-29 17:52 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-07-29 17:49 faces drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-07-29 17:49 patterns drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-07-29 17:49 pics drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-07-29 17:49 programs drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-07-29 17:49 sessions drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2008-07-29 17:58 themes I just tried download and installed a random theme, it is then listed in /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes but does not show up the Login Manager window so it can be selected for install/use
What's the output of "kde4-config --path data"?
[g6avk@localhost themes]$ kde4-config --path data /home/g6avk/.kde/share/apps/:/usr/share/kde4/apps/:/usr/share/kde-settings/kde-
Sorry a bit got cut off: [g6avk@localhost themes]$ kde4-config --path data /home/g6avk/.kde/share/apps/:/usr/share/kde4/apps/:/usr/share/kde-settings/kde-
It's still truncated.
Last try, sorry its late here:- home/g6avk/.kde/share/apps/: /usr/share/kde4/apps/: /usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/apps/: /usr/share/apps/
Hmmm, OK, then something is not working, normally /usr/share/kde4/apps should be listed again last.
OK, I see why it isn't working.
OK, I can confirm /usr/share/kde4/apps is only listed once as above.
Reassigning again kdelibs -> kdebase-workspace, as I now think the real fix will have to be in kdebase-workspace. The kstandarddirs paths are supposed to be unique, I don't think my hack (listing /usr/share/kde4/apps twice, which was what my change to the kstandarddirs patch was intended to do, but actually didn't) would have been a good idea anyway. I'm working on a fix in kdebase-workspace.
Building kdebase-workspace-4.1.0-4 now, which should fix this.
Should be fixed in: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=751515 (Note: "kde4-config --path data" will still return the same thing, but the KDM configuration should work.)
seems to be a dup of bug #453321
OK, just updated to kdebase-workspace-* 4.1.0-4.fc9 and the other updates from kde-redhat. The errors messages have now gone when starting the Login manger. Themes download are listed in: /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/ The problem now is they do not show in the Login managers window for selection. I'll do some more digging around as I am not sure if there are different KDM themes for kde3.x or kde4.x. Of course this could be a different bug also.
Rex is right, this is a duplicate of bug 453321. Themes for the KDE 3 KDM do not work in the KDE 4 version. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 453321 ***
