Konversation needs a proper plugin API. Such a lack is the last major thing that keeps X-Chat on my primarily KDE desktop.

My suggestion would be to start from X-Chat's design and then remove the idiocy. Be sure to copy the ability for new languages to be added via plugins without them being second-class citizens. (An X-Chat plugin written in Perl, Python, TCL, Ruby, or LISP appears in the plugin list just the same as an X-Chat plugin written in C)
