Patch to fix wrongly parsed urls containing emoticons.

Version:           git-latest (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

When a chat partner sends a URL, the chat handler replaces emoticons before the message is parsed for links. Any URL containing an emoticon is then no longer recognised as URL and thus not converted to link. In my case, the ':/' part of the protocol is replaced, rendering 90% of all links received unclickable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Send (or receive) a URL containing a character sequence that is supposed to be replaced by an emoticon (for example, a URL prefixed with the protocol, where ':/' may be replaced by an emoticon (depends on emoticon theme)).

Actual Results:  
A funny face appears in the middle of the URL, link cannot be clicked.

Expected Results:  
No funny face, clickable link.

I've added a patch that reverses the order (parse for links first, then for emoticons) that seems to fix it.

Patch looks good.

Do you have a KDE git account? If so, please merge it! 

Otherwise write back, and one of us will merge for you.

(sorry for the late reply)
Thanks a lot.

We recently redid all the message processing, and in the process reversed some ordering.

That was really quickly spotted, thanks again!
