I know it's a bit uncool, and i don't know if it meets your requirements
(since i don't use Unity), but i find pidgin to be pretty good.  I
prefer it because it integrates IRC, XMPP, and other protocols, and its
logging and searching works pretty well.  I use dircproxy to keep my IRC
connection going regardless of my laptop's status, and between the two
it meets my needs.
