[Bug 275232] [NEW] (Kubuntu Intrepid) Icon GHNS doesn't throw error when it can't d/l a theme

[1cewolf]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: systemsettings

When I go into System Settings -> Appearance -> Icons and click "Get New
Themes", I get shown a list of the available themes. If you try to
install an icon theme that is hosted on a web site like Mediafire, it
waits a few seconds and then changes the "install" option to "uninstall"
just as if it was installed...but it isn't. This would be absolutely
maddening to new users who don't know any better.

I assume that GHNS won't work with files hosted on a service like
Mediafire. If that's the case, GHNS needs to alert you that it can't
download the icon theme. Maybe it could also offer to pull up its KDE-
look page in your web browser so that you can download it yourself.
