           Summary: emoticon theme stopped working
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: juventuz2000 at yahoo.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I maintain an emoticon theme that works with a lot of different clients.
Unfortunately, every client has a different format for the definition file, so
what I do is zip the images and put all the various definition files in there
too, each client will then find the file it's looking for, including kopete.

As of kopete-kde4, or kde-4.1.2, which is where I first found the bug, the
emoticon set can no longer be loaded correctly. I've looked at how emoticons
are defined in kde4 and the format seems to have changed. I can produce an
emoticons.xml file that fits the bill, but the theme is still not loaded
correctly.

What I suspect is that pidgin's "theme" file is found and read first.
Unfortunately, the result is epic fail (it loads correctly in pidgin,
obviously), what I get in the gui is an empty list. If I delete this file,
kopete presumably finds emoticons.xml (or maybe icondef.xml, who the heck
knows) and does load the set correctly.
