Bug#627711: the connect window doesn't provide list of servers

[Theppitak Karoonboonyanan]

Package: xchat-gnome
Version: 1:0.30.0~git20100421.29cc76-1
Followup-For: Bug #627711

I've been trying to fix this for myself, the derived ConnectDialog class
appears to partially use the glade UI file, not the whole. Only the
GtkScrolledWindow and GtkTreeView are referenced, not even the action
buttons at the bottom. Instead, the buttons are explicitly created
by the init function itself. This is broken somehow, and the bug still
happens even in upstream git master. Looks like it's under unfinished
development.

My workaround is not to use the glade file at all. Just call GTK+
functions directy to construct the widgets, as in the attached patch.
(Note that this has yet to be done to other Glade-based UIs in the
program as well.)

I know this may not be what upstream wants to adopt, as they obviously
want to use GtkBuilder over the derived GObject class. Just wish it
helps somehow to push this bug further.

Another choice is to downgrade to latest stable release?
