*** Plucked rev 4be2df4f72bd8a55cdae7f2554b73342a497c92f (bcc0147bab874ca52c55ad4900545e17528bf8fd): There's no need to check type twice here. Also, g_return_if_reached is not correct since img==NULL is caused by invalid network input and not some programmer error. *** Plucked rev 3d02401cf232459fc80c0837d31e05fae7ae5467 (bcc0147bab874ca52c55ad4900545e17528bf8fd): Using 'if (img==NULL) return;' fails to clean up properly, so invert the logic of that section. *** Plucked rev c64a1adc8bda2b4aeaae1f273541afbc4f71b810 (bcc0147bab874ca52c55ad4900545e17528bf8fd): Each PurpleSmiley has a PurpleStoredImage behind it, so there's no need to go and create a new one when someone asks for one. Also, ignore requests for smileys that don't exist in the image store.
