This bugs me - there must be a simple way to do this....

My evil hacker instincts led to;

/usr/bin/kircservice
#!/bin/bash
#
URL=$1
CHANNEL=`(echo $URL | cut -f2 -d"#")`
SERVER=`(echo $URL | cut -f3 -d"/")`
ksirc --nick $USER --server $SERVER --channel \#$CHANNEL

~srw/.kde/share/services/irc.protocol
[Protocol]
exec=kircservice %u
protocol=irc
input=none
output=none
helper=true
listing=
reading=false
writing=false
makedir=false
deleting=false

Which seems to work, and doesn't even require restarting kde - but I'm sure 
there must be a sensible way of doing this.
