Just a shot in the dark: perhaps you are missing some system-wide
libraries required for these (both for pidgin and kopete). I don't
have it installed but maybe you can use ldd to see what it depends on.
Doing an aptitude search on my Debian system also brings up

p   pidgin-themes                                  - Smiley themes
collection for pidgin

which is a separate package. Does that help?
