Although I don't think that this is any less secure than downloading theme
from kdelook and executing it manually, it would be a good point to discuss
security issues now.
Themes can be downloaded manually, trough commandline or from KNewStuff (in
the future). Themes can be also installed by rpm/ebuild/... packages (at
least gentoo has some ebuilds for superkaramba themes). All of these cases
should be kept in mind when thinking security issues.
