Some notes on KDE4 in Fedora 19

I finally found some time to play with installing KDE4 themes in Fedora 19.  I was using my normal userid kurtis and was using the Login settings from the System Settings app.  This Login settings app would let me view themes on a server but when I clicked the install button, no error message or sudo password prompt would appear but when I went back to enable the theme, it was not there.  After doing some Google searching, I learned that in order to install themes, you must sign into KDE as root user.  The themes will download and install plus you can then use them.

I also discovered where the themes are stored.  The path is:

/usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes

Thanks all for now. It's getting late and my eyes are getting very heavy...
