Double clicking on hyperlinks in windows using net-irc/kvirc-4.2_pre5124 fails to open the associated protocol handler (Settings->Configure KVIrc->General options->URL handlers). I tried replacing the handler command with various other ones, but to no avail--the command does not actually execute. This worked fine with net-irc/kvirc-4.2_pre5000.

Does this problem occur in the newest revision (net-irc/kvirc-9999)? If yes, then please report this problem to upstream.
run chromium $0 what i put in setup-..general--.urlhandler this allowed me to get my browser chromium to open the page for me not sure why it wouldn't until i changed that. but it did work.
Okay, as suggested, I installed net-irc/kvirc-9999. When I started it up it said something about upgrading the scripts, and that if I want to downgrade to an earlier version I needed to revert to the older scripts (it was this mini-wizard type thing)--I got the impression that it was recreating the scripts, not using the original ones. So, I reverted to the older scripts. While running the latest version the URL handlers worked. I then downgraded back to net-irc/kvirc-4.2_pre5124 and now the URL handlers are working. I guess that script reverting thing fixed whatever the problem was.
