OK, I've installed the theme into /usr/share/themes and changed the
one line in /etc/gconf/schemas/matchbox-session-sato.schemas from Sato
to Clearlooks-DarkOrange

Much closer.  Now the theme is being used (and it does suit me!)
but I'm also getting a lot of warnings:

   matchbox-wm: unable to open theme: /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks-DarkOrange/matchbox/theme.xml
   (matchbox-panel:29173): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks",
   (matchbox-desktop:29172): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks",
   ./client_gui.py:219: GtkWarning: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks",

Can I get rid of these?  Should I bother?
