Hello all I am new to KDE and have enjoyed learning to use it and have a long way to go, but I wanted to share with those who don't know how I was able to Install a KDM Theme. I had problems installing through system setting so I found the Theme folder in the root directory and copied the KDM Theme to the folder. Know that you have to be root to do this and it is important to remember to be careful when using root or you can BLOW up you system. Just in case the theme I am installing is the boot Theme when you login. Any who this is what I did.
1. ALT-F2 to bring up run
2. Type in gksudo dolphin. dolphin being the file manager
3. select the root directory and do this
Navigation should be as follows
root>user>share>kde4>apps>kdm>themes
when your here you can drop your extracted theme into the theme folder.
when you are done you may select the new KDM theme from login manager settings and reboot system whenever, at the next login you should see the new theme.
I hope this helps someone else out.
And Thanks to all you linux gurus and community for all the help in improving linux
