That's what I had in mind. I imagined it would have been implemented since
KDE 3.1, which I happen to be on. kde-look.org, however, did not appear to
have an installation-type link/button, so I assumed it was still necessary
to download, then select. Having said that, I have just been reminded that
dragging of images to the desktop would achieve that effect, even in KDE
3.1. KDE is very user-friendly!
