Did you put your normal user login in the PPP group? You need to edit
/etc/group to do this (can't remember if the X tools will do this as
well).
So the line in /etc/group will read:
ppp:<all the usual junk> yourlogin
(i.e. put your login name as the last thing on the line).

Until you get it fixed, there is a simple workaround. Login as root,
get your PPP connection up, then type:
su - yourlogin
At which point, you should be logged in as yourself, and can IRC
happily. :-)
