         user friendly Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client for KDE

If you click on a nickname containing a backslash (let us use "test\test" as an 
example) and e. g. try to whois the user using the UI, the backslash is 
silently converted to a forward slash (so the actual nick whoised is 
"test/test"), so the whois either fails or possibly shows information about the 
wrong user.
Directly using "/whois test\test" works, though.

This bug could apply to more UI functions than just whois, I just did
not test any.
