A quick start point might be to contact Kev. He was rewritting chat 
dialog code. It would be a shame to make either Kev's or your work 
worthless, so you might combine your work together.

I constantly reminded Kev to think about animated emoticons in his 
rewrite. But as I posted before, no life signs in that matter for about 
one year already.

As for the current code, Psi uses (at least used to use in times of 
Psi-0.10) Icon class to store icons (from iconsets). I have already 
tried to rework that class to provide QMovie class objects when icon is 
an animation, but (as you may expect) failed to do so. In the mean time 
Psi-0.11 has grown mature...


BTW: PSI is a pressure unit, not an application. ;)
