Bug#524410: Acknowledgement (xchat-gnome crashes when trying to join a channel)

[Stéphane Blondon]

The problem disappeared automatically (at the next reboot?). I think
the problem was solved after launching xchat. It has probably modified
something in ~/.xchat2/ which was wrong.

Someone else confirmed that, with the same problem, he removed the
~/.xchat2 directory and that solved the bug. (xchat and xchat-gnome
seems to use the same directory to store personnal preferences.)

Note that I never edited a file in ~/.xchat2/ manually so it's
probably xchat-gnome which has a bad behaviour (=write corrupted data
in a file).


In case it's important, I paste the actual configuration (few versions
of libraries has changed from the previous bug report):
