Comment (by rekkanoryo):

 The gtkrc can do this, similarly to the enter-inserts-newline stuff:
 {{{
 binding "my-bindings"
 {
     bind "<ctrl>1" { "insert-at-cursor" (":-)") }
     bind "<ctrl>2" { "insert-at-cursor" (":-(") }
 }
 widget "*pidgin_conv_entry" binding "my-bindings"
 }}}

 and so on.  We have been in the habit of not doing things in the UI that
 GTK can handle more simply or more flexibly.  In this case, it happens to
 be a "more flexibly" argument that wins, as you can define arbitrary
 emoticons to whatever shortcuts you want.  This theoretically could be
 added to the Theme Control plugin (or a similarly-intended plugin), I
 imagine.
