Bug 216471

Version:           0.1 (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Bug Description

Binary package hint: kcontrol

Actually the package is system settings but that wasn't a choice and officially KDE no longer has kcontrol.

Regardless. This is kubuntu obviously. Kubuntu 9.10. Amd64

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open System Settings and navigate to splash screen configuration

2) Click on Get New Themes

3) Click on an Install button to get a new splash screen

4) The button should turn to Uninstall (occasionally this does not happen but
only for certain items; if that happens, try a different item)

5) Close the dialog. Note that no new theme was installed.

6) In a shell or explorer, navigate to ~/.kde/share/apps/ksplash/Themes - Note
there will be a new file in there. View it. Note it will be some HTML page
directing you where to go download the actual file you need.

If you download the file manually and then ask the configuration to read the
file from the hard drive all is well.


I can recreate the problem on Kubuntu Karmic 9.10 with KDE 4.3.2.
