Picons - Is it me or has something gone awry

[Steve Youngs]

Lars, what have you done to my picons?  I'm seeing a couple of
problems...

It looks like picons in "unknown" aren't being used.  And also they
are munging up email addresses.

  e.g. <larsi@gnus.org> becomes <larsi@.org[glyph]>
       <youngs@xemacs.org> becomes <youngs@.org[glyph]>

Kinda plays merry hell with my 'bbdb-notice-hook'. :-(

OMG, it's after midnight.  2002 already!

Happy New Year folks!

        So it's Dec. 31st just after midnight, and you're sitting in front of
your computer instead of kissing both jows of each of the 40 people at the
party you're at ? tss tss tss...

Yep, it's what you get when you have a wife who's 7+ months pregnant,
and a toddler asleep upstairs.  I have no life. :-(

But I'm not the only one...

        I see. It's amusing to notice that many hackers claim to have no life
for just the opposite reason: no wife, no toddler, not even a girlfriend ...
you know :-)

Already fixed. cvs up.

Yeah, the same here. I spent about three seconds on fixing it.

For all. I still have five hours to play.

That's been fixed by now...

I've now fixed it so that it also inserts the string the glyph
represents, but I seem to be unable to find out how to do the same
trick that Emacs 21 does with images -- that there's an "invisible
string" (yes, I know -- not really) that the glyph represents that
gets yanked when looking for strings, etc.

I know that it's possible to do the same in XEmacs (well, I think so,
because I think I've done so before), but does anybody remember how
one does that?

Adding 'display property to the text does the trick. See Dave's code
in smiley-ems.el.

I was a bit unclear.  :-)

I know how to do this in Emacs, but not in XEmacs.  Does anybody
remember how to do this in XEmacs?

I'm not so sure that it has.  I'm seeing a lot less picons than I used
to, which is why I suggested that maybe "unknown" isn't being used.  I
have:

,----
| (setq
|  gnus-picon-databases '("/usr/local/faces")
|  gnus-picon-user-directories '("users" "unknown" "misc")
|  gnus-picon-domain-directories '("domains" "unknown" "misc")
|  gnus-picon-news-directories '("news" "misc" "unknown"))
`----

Which reminds me, that was cruel changing all the gnus-picons-* to
gnus-picon-*.  I kept thinking "yeah I've set the right stuff, so why
isn't this working?" :-(

On what items don't you see (as many) picons?

Try removing all these to let it used the standard values.

Since the new picon stuff is kinda unlike the old picon stuff, I
didn't want old variable values to trample the new stuff.

In the end, it doesn't look like I've kept all that many variables,
and the ones I kept also kept their semantics, so perhaps I should
just rename them back.

All headers that are picon-able.

This results in zero picons displayed. :-(

Give me an example header that's not as piconified as before, and
which elements that are missing picons.

The only extra thing in your lists is "misc" and "unknown", which only
provide certain default picons.  (And `gnus-picon-user-directories'
already has "misc".)
