Hello, I had a look at what's required to make pidgin the default IRC client in 11.0. The result is, we don't! First of all, purple-url-handler is using depreciated dbus calls. This has been a known bug (http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/3520) with the Pidgin developers for the last 7 months. Second, purple-url-handler is broken :-/ See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=383574 Third, it's not possible to dynamically create a Pidgin IRC account when clicking on an IRC link. That means that we would have to add silly patches just to make this work (See Comment#2 in the above mentioned bugzilla bug) So unless someone have any strong objection, and/or want to fix up pidgin to work properly, xchat should replace xchat-gnome instead of pidgin.
