Plus I had to set it up on every machine I connected from and tell it which channels to join, whereas with irssi I can leave it running 24/7 and so never miss any messages or have to mess about rejoining a load of different channels/networks. Seeing as I'm typing in commands like /join and /msg anyway, I don't see much point in an IRC client with a GUI - where's the extra functionality?

Becuase i did not find it ? By default, screen translates terminal bells into messages which are displayed at the bottom of the screen. The bad thing about this is that it dismisses such messages as soon as you hit a key. What this means is that if you're typing away at a document of some sort and someone mentions your nick on IRC, you may not notice. Using ^A-G (default keybindings) will make the bell audible, so that you'll be able to hear it. Whether your terminal emulation program that you use to log into the system translates it into something visual is another matter. If you want to always use this setting but you don't want to have to hit ^A-G every time you start screen, put this in a file named ~/.screenrc: vbell off And you'll never see that annoying visual bell ever again.

No I don't, because it's not a feature that I see any need for. I'm sure there is a way to do it but if I don't want that particular feature I'm not going to spend time looking for how to enable it.
