Hard to tell what failure you had.

First, "alien -t" is designed to convert an RPM file to a .tgz file.  Then
you can open it in the File Browser and look for the picture you want.

Second, the problem may have been the path, the need to use sudo, or the
output needing to be on a writeable medium.  This should fix all three at
once:

"cd /tmp"
"sudo alien -t /media/cdrom/rl/install/RPMS/kdeconfig-1.1g-46rl.noarch.rpm"

The .tgz file will be in /tmp.
