[Psi-devel] Animated GIF.

[Michał Majchrowicz]

In my system they don't animate anywhere even when I check the details
of emoticon pack (there is a lot of gifs). I tried watching them with
gimv image viewer and still no animation. In fact the only application
capable (as far as I know) of showing animated gifs on my system is
Firefox :)
