Create a .desktop file like this and put it in /usr/share/applications/

[Desktop Entry]

Type=Application

Name=XChat Firefox

Exec=/usr/bin/your_script

Icon=/usr/share/icons/xchats_icon

"XChat Firefox" will then be a launchable application with XChat's icon. Exec can also take a bash command (with arguments, optionally) as its value.

For a complete explanation of the .desktop format, see this specification.
