Sorry to be dense, but I'm unclear what you mean here.

I didn't find any mention of Sato in the matchbox-desktop-sato package,
but I did in matchbox-session-sato.  It was mentioned in /etc/matchbox/session:
   exec matchbox-window-manager -theme Sato -use_desktop_mode decorated -use_cursor $SHOWCURSOR $@

I tried changing that line to be
   exec matchbox-window-manager -theme Clearlooks-DarkOrange -use_desktop_mode decorated -use_cursor $SHOWCURSOR $@
but I got this error:
   unable to open theme: /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks-DarkOrange/matchbox/theme.xml

None of the themes that I've downloaded include a theme.xml file.
Where do they come from?  generated by some process?
