Description of Problem: Buidling xchat without linking in 100 gnome libs doesn't reduce its functionality, but makes it much less bloated. (Try the non-gnome version for yourself, you won't notice a difference). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.8.7-5 How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -e gnome-libs 2. rpm -i xchat-1.8.7-5.i386.rpm

Ok, I'll build it without GNOME support some time and see what all is different. If it is unnoticeable, possibly I'll toss it in rawhide.
xchat 1.8.8-3 in rawhide is now built with GNOME support disabled. It appears that there should not be any major loss of functionality. GNOME support was for sound and GNOME panel support only, and a crash dialog also. None of which I consider mission critical. I'll leave it disabled unless there becomes some compelling reason to re-enable it.
And keybindings, and pixmaps on buttons and several other things that I've seen people complain about not being present in the past 24 hours now that Skipjack 2 has gone out.
Due to many comments, requests, flames received in email, IRC, and in bugzilla, I've re-enabled GNOME support in xchat. GNOME support provides the pixmap'd buttons, as well as the pulldown menus at the top, key bindings and various other features users have requested be re-enabled. Bug 62849 is related.
