  Yeah... frustrating huh? :-)
The good news is that the old Control panel is still present. Choose "Run 
command..." and type in kcontrol and hit enter. Hope they make sure the new 
control panels has everything that the old one had soon... cause it's 
otherwise kinda neat and it's a pity having to use kcontrol. ;-)

Not really... you've just discovered a bug, or let's say a missing feature.
BTW. You can also add themes by rightklicking them and choosing to add them 
from the menu... But you'll have to activate them from kcontrol anyways...

  cheers, Simon
PS. Glad you liked the theme... I think I might post an update at some 
point...
