It would be nice to have a complete set of icons, but this isn't possible since emoticons conflict across different protocols (i.e., same text, different icons). Would it be possible for Kopete to only display icons in the appropriate protocol? The XML could be something like
<emoticon file="phone" proto="MSN"><string>T</string></emoticon>
<emoticons file="smile" proto="*"><string>:-)</string></emoticon>

I think this could be done if the emoticon's iterator was changed to take the name of the protocol and then only iterate through appropriate icons. This means that parseEmoticons would have to be aware of the protocol and setActiveView(?) would have to reconstruct the emoticon palette for that protocol. It would also require changing the XML loader.

Just a thought.
