Implement custom emoticons on XMPP using XEP 0231
I would like to request to support that, too. Gajim and Pidgin could be more compatible to each other.
At the moment gajim won't display a received emoticon of pidgin (XEP 0231) and will show only the text shortcut instead. It should be possible to display received emoticons and to add custom emoticins easily to sent it with the message. (of course... sending a binary emoticon with EVERY message isn't a good idea - so "custom" emotes needs to be separated in order that the user knows it)
