Comment (by salinasv):

 Thanks for test this one I hope will be merged

 > 1) Fix sending (why can other MSN users not see the smileys?).
 Some friends reported the same and now is fixed, was a problem with the
 api change and I didn't noticed.
 > 2) When a smiley is inserted it should show in the text edit box.
 If you insert the smiley with the mouse it will be showed, if not, the
 text is parsed when the message is processed to be sent
 > 3) When adding from the menu, it should remember the last folder I added
 one from (at least for each session) as after every single icon added
 using this method I had to browse though all my folders again to get to
 where I had them.. very frustrating.
 I didn't fix this, I think is a gtk issue. Will take a look maybe I can do
 something (if someone here knows how, tell me)
 > 4) Also for the menu, it should remember which account was being added
 to. When I was adding to my MSN account, I had to re-select that for every
 icon added as it would always revert to my Yahoo account int he pull-down
 for some reason.
 Why not, added.
 > 5) Icons need to be initialized when Pidgin is started.
 I can't do that. I wanted to initialize it when the account is "enabled"
 but if you start pidgin with your account enabled I can't get the smileys
 initialized. So I changed to do it when the account was loaded, but there
 are problems of sync and the ui_ops are not initialized so I decided to
 return to the old "initialize when connecting" style until find some
 better way.

 Changelog:
  * The pref line is not needed now, the path is now hard coded. Is not
 needed to be able to change the smileys path so is not important. I did
 this in one try to initialize without the prefs loaded, then I like it.
  * The Manager remember last account you added a smiley in the session.
