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 2:30

Set up a URL handler? See How to setup URL handlers for Gnome applications for an example. – Mikel May 12 '12 at 6:02
