Description

As Smuxi by default uses the username of the operating system as nickname and also username (ident) for the IRC connection it has to make sure it doesn't contain any invalid characters according to the RFC.

This assumption is not true, the ident username can contain an 8-bit ASCII character (except \0 \r and \n) according to the ident RFC1413: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1413.txt
Quoting:
<user-id> ::= <octet-string>
...
<octet-string> ::= 1*512<octet-characters>
<octet-characters> ::=
                  <any octet from  00 to 377 (octal) except for
                   ASCII NUL (000), CR (015) and LF (012)>

So Smuxi should only detect non-alphanumeric characters and show a warning instead.
