yes, kvirc is pretty feature-rich and stable - the problem is that the 
author doesn't want to develop it in kde's CVS. He wants to keep control 
over it. Now we could still ship it with KDE2; I'm sure he would agree 
with that.

I for one don't like kvirc because it is so big, it's using MDI and I 
find all those fancy buttons rather disturbing (that's why I mentioned 
the unobtrusiveness of ksirc).

From a codebase point of view, I'm sure kvirc is in a better shape, so we 
might ship kvirc with KDE2 and keep ksirc maybe in kdenonbeta as 
standalone application.

Either way is fine for me.

No problem.
