That's what mine looks like too.  When I click Files and drag the cursor down
to Open and release, it puts up a "Directory Browser" in the directory where I
called it.  Do you have the MrSID_HOME envariable set to the directory where
it's installed?  I wasn't sure where to point it, so I set it to the complete
pathname of the executable, including the executable itself:
% setenv MrSID_HOME /usr/local/bin/MrSID
It doesn't appear to matter whether I aim it there or at the executable in the
directory where I unpacked it.

After selecting a .sid file, the "Save" is no longer dimmed.

I'm on an upgraded RedHat 9, with 2.4.22-ac4 kernel and KDE 3.2.3, if that
matters.
