I cant install new icons in kde 3.2

I love being able to change the icons and I even downloaded a few different schemes from kde-look.org. But they wont install...

I am no linux guru, but this what I did:
Downloaded and unpacked them into /home/zork/.icons/umicons/

Then I go to the icon part of preferences and try "install new theme" Then I browse to the above directory and choose index.desktop (as I think thats the file to choose since its the only non .png file of them all). I click ok and get "The file is not a valid icon theme archive!". I tried this with a few different icon schemes, same problem.

What am I doing wrong? Please help. :(

You don't need to unpack them to install them, just choose the right file and voila;-)

Thanks! These things are not easy to figure out as a linux newbie. :)
