Found what the trouble is,its nothing to do with your theme or the file being corrupted,its the accursed gnome settings daemon.
Changed to gtk-chtheme which does see it,I can switch to it for a few seconds before the gnome settings daemon decides "there is no path set to the theme engine Rezlooks" and removes it?
I can only assume the gnome settings daemon is suffering from dementia and has very bad eyesight as there is no mention of Rezlooks in the theme as you know?
Its also stopping me using most of the other themes I have installed as well that I can also see for a few seconds before it decides they are not suitable for some reason known only to its own warped mind?
The strange thing is if I log in to Gnome the themes work perfectly,perhaps Gnome and Openbox have had a row or something,I really dont know?
The time has come to say goodbye to Debian anyway as I have had enough of it.

I'll let you know...
I'm running a bit of an experiment with Debian using the stable kernel with software and libraries from unstable and testing,think I pushed things a bit too far and now I can not install any new themes as I seem to have broken the gnome settings daemon?
Gnome is not quite as resilient as it used to be,this is the third time I have broken major parts of it with my experiments.
Managed to break the whole of nautilus last time,that did stop it annoying me in Openbox though!
Its time for a clean install of something else,the few themes I have left are doing strange things,showing the wrong colours and sort of half a scroll bar on the edge of the window and things like that.
Plus the system is doing a few other odd things too.
I was getting bored with Debian anyway,stable is a bit too stable for my liking,and the Radeon driver in Sid and Squeeze will not work with my card,thats why I was trying to mix the three in the hope of having a reasonably stable system with more up to date software than stable has,some things in stable are nearly three years out of date with the same bugs they had then,its like going back in time.
This time I will either go back to FreeBSD,or try Gentoo or Arch maybe,not sure yet?
I really am sorry for being a nuisance.

This site is notorious for doing that,had some before I had to try adding every extension known before finding what they were compressed as,turned out they were 7zip and rar I believe?
Hopefully by the end of the week I shall have a new system installed and be able to use it,well perhaps the end of the week is being a little too optimistic as I'm going to do a stage 3 install of Gentoo,by the time that has finished compiling it could be the new year?

I have Murrine 0.90.3-2 from Debian Unstable,installed this to /usr/share/themes but its as though it does not exist,it does not appear in switch2,even tried putting it in gconf myself with both a lower and upper case "s" but nothing happens?
I use Openbox,not that should not make a difference,but I wonder if dA have corrupted the file as there was another tar with no extension inside the downloaded tar,had to rename it to be able to open it?
This is one of the nicest themes I have seen for a long time,the happy and excited smile on my face turned to tears when I found I could not use it!
