 I've tried various formats for URL handling in purple-url-handler all seem
 to fail for IRC type URLs.

 On my system this works:
 purple-url-handler "xmpp:friedel at jabber.obsidian.co.za"

 While none of these work:
 purple-url-handler "irc:irc.freenode.net"
 purple-url-handler "irc://irc.freenode.net"
 purple-url-handler "irc://irc.freenode.net#pootle"

 In all cases the following error is produced:
 [dwayne at localhost filters]$ purple-url-handler
 "irc://irc.freenode.net#pootle"
 /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.py:248: DeprecationWarning:
 The dbus_bindings module is not public API and will go away soon.

 Most uses of dbus_bindings are applications catching the exception
 dbus.dbus_bindings.DBusException. You should use dbus.DBusException
 instead (this is compatible with all dbus-python versions since 0.40.2).

 If you need additional public API, please contact the maintainers via
 <dbus at lists.freedesktop.org>.
