Version: (using KDE 4.4.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages In systemsettings (System Settings) one cannot edit emoticon themes unless they are root (e.g. by running 'kdesudo systemsettings'). This is odd. I imagine emoticons are stored in some root folder that non-root users don't have permissions to. This ought to be changed. At least, one should be able to create a new theme which is stored in some subfolder of the home folder.
the default emoticon theme is stored in /usr/share/emoticons, so it's available to all users, you can either change the permissions of the emoticon theme folder to be able to write it as normal user or copy the theme in ~/.kde/share/emoticons
