Patch to fix wrongly parsed urls containing emoticons.

Version:           git-latest (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

When a chat partner sends a URL, the chat handler replaces emoticons before the
message is parsed for links. Any URL containing an emoticon is then no longer
recognised as URL and thus not converted to link. In my case, the ':/' part of
the protocol is replaced, rendering 90% of all links received unclickable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Send (or receive) a URL containing a character sequence that is supposed to be
replaced by an emoticon (for example, a URL prefixed with the protocol, where
':/' may be replaced by an emoticon (depends on emoticon theme)).

Actual Results:  
A funny face appears in the middle of the URL, link cannot be clicked.

Expected Results:  
No funny face, clickable link.

I've added a patch that reverses the order (parse for links first, then for
emoticons) that seems to fix it.
