lets skip f13... this package is really awesomely maintained! congrats! ;)

Only Network is actually required, and XChat defines that.

there are actual standard that isnt environment specific called xdg and it has IRCClient defined. xchat is just that and one of the only irc clients that arent categorized properly. the fact that the default menus of the so called mainstream desktop environments for linux do not use subcategorys on fedora (and therefor have close to unusable menus for larger installs) is not really an excuse to me. yet i got a few hundred desktop files fixed up and this is really trivial since desktop file install (or atleast desktop file validate should be used in the spec anyways to install the desktop files. 
sorry kevin while i usually value your opinion in this case it wasnt very productive at all. even if the maintainer is stubborn enough to not add it then a simple reply to a bug like that wouldnt really hurt, but i really have the feeling the bug is just beeing ignored: 

http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-1.0.html

there is alot more i could write and add but it wouldnt help improving the desktop experience at all. it would just get rid of alot frustration that has been accumulated by the desktop experience of the mainstream desktop environments.

if improvement is not welcome i will just move on to do something else like alot others already did.

Let's be honest, I'm the only comaintainer of XChat who seems to actually give a darn at all (judging from the lack of replies by anybody else), so as far as I'm concerned you can happily comaintain it if you care about it, then you can fix such things yoursef. :-)

I know the fd.o menu spec. IRCClient is an Additional Category, which means it's not required, only a Main Category is. That said, sure it's nice to add that stuff.

i am also beeing dead honest: if id start comaintaining every component that has ignored bugs (even only those with packages attached) id have a 18 hour day for deliverying the quality i wanted to and no time to get issues like that ahead (it might seem unimportant to some... i have my use cases and no one else is wasting time on it). 
thanks for your honest reply... but the conclusion actually is that this package doesent need another comaintainer but a responsive maintainer that takes care of the package.

patch for getting the above issue (+ 2 cosmetical changes) fixed is attached.

patch

patch diffed against latest cvs revision of the xchat.spec. quickly looked at it while beeing on the train. couldnt test it because i have to get off (warning... over 26 hours awake cause of changing continents).

This is now committed to Rawhide, build started.
