ok, just for the record a few findings:
The new handler service takes over even if prefs (or gconf) would know what
should happen with a specific protocol. That smells like an upstream bug and
doesn't seem to be intended.
I'll look into it to solve it.
For the intention of using a pref to define the default handler for irc I'd say
that shouldn't be done that way.
gconf should provide a usable default handler for IRC:
wolfi@Hygiea:~> gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/irc/command
purple-url-handler "%s"
(don't know if pidgin currently works that way but anyway.)
Please note that even defining this with gconf doesn't solve the Firefox issue
currently because of this bug.
