Comment (by Ketsuban):

 Do we really need to animate the smileys in a preview window? It seems
 like this would be waylayed if the smileys window just displayed the first
 frame of an animated smiley.

 It seems like the smileys preview window could do with being a bit better
 designed in general, though, since large numbers of smileys fill the
 screen and become unwieldy to operate whether they're animated or not. I'm
 thinking a popup list with a scrollbar, and each entry has a small non-
 animated picture of the smiley in question and the text it hooks to.
