This breaks if you have the default of 

(defvar gnus-picons-display-where 'picons

since set-to-buffer (set-buffer?  I don't remember which you changed
it to) doesn't create the "*Picons*" buffer if it does not exist,
which it needs to do upon reading the first group.  As shipped, 5.2.19
broke for me till I either created the *Picons* buffer or changed the
set-buffer? back to switch-to-buffer.  :-( :-( :-( :-( 

(I like the new smilies too...  :-) :-) :-) :-) )

But there is no `set-to-buffer' function.  :-)  Perhaps the ChangeLog
entry should have read:

Mon Jun 10 21:40:13 1996  Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen  <lars@eyesore.no>
 	* gnus-picon.el (gnus-group-display-picons): `set-to-buffer'!?!?!

instead.  :-)

(I wanted to change `switch-to-buffer' to `set-buffer', and I got a
bit confused.)

It should be `(set-buffer (get-buffer-create ...))', I guess.
`switch-to-buffer' broke something for somebody, which is why I did
the first "correction".  :-/  (Dontcha lurve them smilies? :-] )

Does anybody have a list of ASCII smileys?  I'm sure there are smileys
that we're missing...

I'm still confused (but I hardly could care less about) where you even
found the set-to-buffer to exist...  Its one of the reasons I didn't
understand the changelog entry...  set-to-buffer DNE, and was never
used (AFAIK).

I'm sure we now need an 'insert smiley sub-menu somewhere...' ;->

I also wanted to turn the smilies/pictures into buttons which would
toggle the state of a given smiley (text vs picture).  Should be easy.

I think there is a HUGE list somewhere.  Much longer than you want.
Probably even a web page (or 100) about them.  

Last I checked, we're not even using all the images we have yet.
