Ouch!

Why not allow simply execution of a command (using exec, and taking some
safeguards, of course).

Kind of like the URL telnet:telnet.shell.com , which is handled in
explorer and netscape on windows by launchind telnet.exe.

KDE already has an IRC client. Why not exec-ing it with the proper
parameters?

What's the use of embeding this in a browser window? So you can
accidentally press "back" and do-away with your session?
