Pardon me if this is an unwelcome suggestion, but have you considered
using Python to develop tools like these? There are good bindings for
both Qt and GTk+ that work equally well on Windows or *NIX - and of
course there are things like XML-RPC built in to the language.

If you are quite comfortable with text-mode environments, I like irssi
quite a bit. X-Chat is probably the canonical X11 IRC GUI, but I think
it's GTk+ based. Dunno what's available for KDE -- kchat, maybe?
