This is a great resource and many of them look perfect for my needs.

What's the best way to install/use one of these? (while I may have been
using X since version 10.2, I seldom mess with such things and don't
really know the best starting point)

For example, I downloaded 'ClearLooks Dark Orange' which gave me a single
file "Clearlooks-DarkOrange/gtk-2.0/gtkrc".  How do I install this and
make it stick on my target?

Thanks
