Description of problem: In FC2, gaim had all sorts of smileys available, but when I use it now, it says that "this theme has no available smileys". I have tried this for AIM and MSN connections, not sure about the rest. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gaim-1.1.0-0.FC3 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start gaim and open up an AIM or MSN connection 2.try to insert a smiley face. 3. Actual results: none are available. Expected results: should have lots. Additional info:
I just noticed that there are no smiley themes and that you have to enable them. But why would the default be to disable them?
a bug in the upgrade code causes the default for an unspecified theme to be "None" instead of the previous default. this is the most likely cause of this bug.
Luke, is this something that can be fixed in upstream gaim, or should we just close this bug WONTFIX?
Luke said: I'd close it as WONTFIX, because there really isn't any clean way to avoid this. the preference simply wasn't save (adequately) before, becuase it was identical to the default, so when the default changed, the users's experience was different, but from the point of view of reading the config file in and out, it was identical. we could insure this doesn't happen again on some future upgrade that changes the default theme, but we can't retroactively fix this to ensure current upgraders don't hit it.
