Description of problem: Not sure what is going on but xchat-gnome seems totally broken on Fedora 16. It starts up and connects but then seems unable to do anything useful - no tabs displayed either. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xchat-gnome-0.26.2-3.git40c5bf988.fc16 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot and login to F16 2. install xchat-gnome if necessary 3. start xchat-gnome and connect to a server Actual results: No server tab and no response to commands/input Expected results: xchat-gnome to function normally Additional info: I think it has been broken probably since before alpha?
Works for me as of a day or so ago. Do you have anything unusual in your configuration?
Hmm, not really this is on a fresh Live install. Does it work for you from a Live image say or fresh install? I have tried on both i686 and x86_64. Ok, (maybe unrelated but) I just updated to the latest desktop packages from koji, and now I managed to connect fully and join some channels - still no tabs though, which makes it pretty much unusable for more than one channel.

I'm assuming hitting 'F9' fixes it? I will check if the default for that changed.
You're right - I think the combination of slowness of freenode login and not being able to join channels from the server might have confused me.
