Bug Description

xchat (and xchat-gnome as far as I tried) with Unity has an awkward behaviour:

1. start xchat
2. press the [X] button to close it

->
- xchat minimizes to tray (depends on your settings. this seems only be configurable the first time you close xchat)
- is not shown in tray as it is not in the whitelist
- is not shown in the unity starter bar
- opening the message indiactor shows xchat as started, but
- clicking xchat in the messages indicator starts a new xchat instead of showing the old one

It is the same with the xchat-indicator package installed or removed, with or without the xchat in the tray whitelist.

When I launch xchat on the command line, it also say :
libunity-CRITICAL **: unity-launcher.vala:154: Unable to connect to session bus: Could not connect: Connection refused

and constantly :
LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: Unable to get session bus: Could not connect: Connection refused

I don't know if it's linked.

This bug was fixed in the package xchat - 2.8.8-7ubuntu2

---------------
xchat (2.8.8-7ubuntu2) raring; urgency=low

  * Optimise default settings for efficient chatting
    + Make tab completion by default use last-used order, not alphabetical.
      This way for example if one is chatting with cjwatson, typing
      "cj<tab>" will complete to cjwatson and not cjohnston.
      Manual migration: ~/.xchat/xchat.conf: completion_sort = 1
    + Do not focus channel upon entering, as that clears highlights when using a znc proxy.
      To be honest, there should be a distinction between manually joining
      new channels & auto-joining. (LP: #189222)
      Manual migration: ~/.xchat/xchat.conf: tab_new_to_front = 0
    + Do not clear buffer with Ctrl-L shortcut. (LP: #304477)
      That shortcut is dominated by web-browsers changing URLs and causes
      context loss if the focus was accidently left on xchat.
  * Fix ftbfs, should link against gmodule.
  * Add xchat-indicator to recommends. (LP: #1048335)
  * Include svg icon (LP: #840673)
