Is there a way that when you click an IRC url (such as irc://##linux) that it will open Pidgin? I believe it has something to do with gconf-editor, but I do not know the terminal command to start an IRC chat in Pidgin.

I am using Linux Mint, if that matters.

    Click an IRC URL where? In a browser? (Which one?) In a terminal window? – cjm May 12 '12 at 02:30

    Set up a URL handler? See [How to setup URL handlers for Gnome applications](http://logicbomblabs.wordpress.com/2009/10/01/how-to-setup-url-handlers-for-gnome-applications/) for an example. – Mikel May 12 '12 at 06:02
