i am not sure that the title is correct

the fonts and the GDM Themes need the add/remove tool,
and the GDM Themes is in different place

is it possible to drag the download links from gnome look in to the Appearance and GDM tools
or install the new art from gnome look just by clicking on the download links (i think it need a new Extension for firefox)

the same can be done with openoffice and gimp

openoffice:
"gat drawing" - link to opneclipart library
"get Impress" - link for example http://smalldataproblem.org/ooextras/downloads/simpress/ (this web site is not good because the user can't upload art)
...
i am looking for something like openoffice-look...

gimp: "get art"...

all work with dragging and dropping

is this for a new bug ?
