On a fresh xchat startup (blow away ~/.xchat), going to the without changing anything in setup, go to the channel list window, click on minimum users, and press keypad enter key a few times. The default font unknown box char is displayed and cannot be removed. Dunno if this is a GTK bug, or an xchat bug, but it is uberduber annoying. ;o) en_US locale
Oops, 7.1 not 7.2. Using stock xchat, xchat from 7.2, or the new 1.8.4 xchat I built in dist-7.2-gnome
Also, this is using XFree86 4.1.0-3 From my XF86Config-4: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection
Works for me with 1.8.4-1 What's xev report as the keysym when you hit KP_Enter?

Created attachment 35141 [details] Screenshot showing box characters.
Let me know if u need any more info. Thanks.
I tried on another machine from my normal workstation, doesn't happen. The only difference is that I have XFree86-4.1.0-1. I have the same XF86Config-4 contents as you and the same xev output. Basically, I can't reproduce at all.
This problem is gone now in RHL 8.0, and may have been gone in 7.2 and/or 7.3 as well. One thing however, is that the keypad ENTER key doesn't work still. xev shows the key generating events, and it works in other apps, but not in certain places in xchat. I can use kp enter in channel dialog, in various other places, but just not in certain areas of the GUI in xchat. I believe this might be a GTK+ issue, but don't know that for sure. Do either of you know of GTK+ bugs related to KP_ENTER in any widgets?
The box character problem is definitely gone now. There seem to be ENTER problems randomly here and there too, but it is not easy to tell what is to blame, and this isn't the latest version of everything I'm using currently so it isn't worth caring about. Closing bug as fixed in CURRENTRELEASE 8.0. I'll open new bugs in the future if there are still problems.
