 If a definition of custom smiley in the "theme" file contains a backlash,
 the smiley is misinterpreted or not interpreted at all (the assigned
 graphics does not show, just text). Try to assign these smileys to some
 PNGs and test them in a conversation window:

 :-\ (unimpressed)
 \~/ (a kiss)
 <\3 (a broken heart)
 <3  (a heart)

 Interestingly, when you type <3, you'll get the graphics for <\3.
