smiley regexp problem

[Rajsekar]

I want to setup the smileys similar to gaim.
So I put 

        "\\(:)\\)\\W" for smile.
and
        "\\(:))\\)\\W" for laugh.

The problem is that :)) also contains a :).  At the same time, i do not
want to replace \W with something like [^)] because i lose the advantage of
\W (which works based on the current syntax).  I want something like \\W
minus the character `('.  Can someone tell me how to achieve this?
