/usr/share/apps/kicker/tiles is apparently not owned by you.

right click the file, select properties,> permissions tab, and change it to read and write. I believe that should work for you, if you do own it.

**bodhi.zazen** · June 26th, 2008

either copy them from a terminal with sudo

Code:

sudo cp xyz.png /usr/share/apps/kicker/tiles

Or ues a gui :

Code:

kdesu konqueror

Then drag & drop

Wonderful!

Glad you got it figured out, but would you mind letting us know what exactly you got figured out. So that I and others that find this thread will know?
