Hi,

Yes, this has seemingly been done on purpose by Red Hat.

In the spec file appears:

# remove some graphics and map some smilies to others
pushd $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
rm -f usr/share/pixmaps/gaim/status/default/msn.png
install -m 644 %{SOURCE2}
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/share/pixmaps/gaim/status/default/msn.png
rm -f usr/share/pixmaps/gaim/smileys/default/msn_*
cd usr/share/pixmaps/gaim/smileys/default/
ln -s smile.png msn_smiley.png
ln -s bigsmile.png msn_laugh.png
ln -s yahoo_wink.gif msn_wink.gif
ln -s scream.png msn_ooooh.png
ln -s tongue.png msn_tongue.png
ln -s cool.png msn_sunglasses.png
ln -s yell.png msn_angry.png
ln -s embarrassed.png msn_embarrassed.png
ln -s sad.png msn_sad.png
ln -s yahoo_cry.gif msn_cry.gif
ln -s angel.png msn_angel.png
ln -s crossedlips.png msn_donttell.png
ln -s cool.png msn_hot.png
ln -s yahoo_eyeroll.gif msn_eyeroll.gif
popd


Comment out the following lines from the spec, rebuild the SRPM,
install and all your MSN smiley icons will return.

rm -f usr/share/pixmaps/gaim/smileys/default/msn_*
cd usr/share/pixmaps/gaim/smileys/default/
ln -s smile.png msn_smiley.png
ln -s bigsmile.png msn_laugh.png
ln -s yahoo_wink.gif msn_wink.gif
ln -s scream.png msn_ooooh.png
ln -s tongue.png msn_tongue.png
ln -s cool.png msn_sunglasses.png
ln -s yell.png msn_angry.png
ln -s embarrassed.png msn_embarrassed.png
ln -s sad.png msn_sad.png
ln -s yahoo_cry.gif msn_cry.gif
ln -s angel.png msn_angel.png
ln -s crossedlips.png msn_donttell.png
ln -s cool.png msn_hot.png
ln -s yahoo_eyeroll.gif msn_eyeroll.gif

This "feature" does not appear in any FC SRPM right up the the FC5
development 1.5.0. :-(

Regards

Phil
