I applied the patch applied in Rawhide already, I'm going to push an XChat with 
the patch to updates-testing.

2.8.4-10 had to be unpushed due to bug 429218 (a regression caused by the 
MIT-SHM pixmap change), I'm pushing a 2.8.4-8 with only the scrollbfdleak patch 
instead.

Actually, I'll be pushing a 2.8.4-11 with a fix for bug 429218. (2.8.4-8 wasn't 
actually pushed yet and I have 2.8.4-11 now.)
