Is there a desktop plasmoid that is an IRC client? I think that would be great! If there is one can you point me to it? Thanks
David

It doesn't look like it - if you want to display IRC chats in a screen widget (seems there isn't even something for Kopete).
However, for anything else kde-look.org is the place to go to.
Regarding the IRC widget: If you've got time and a bit of programming experience (e.g. Python), you could try to write it yourself by querying a command-line client like ircII from the widget.
