"server list" is actually a network list

Bug Description

(Note: this bug came to light as a result of a misunderstanding between me (a user of Breezy) and a Dapper user. I don't have the Dapper version which this bug applies to.)

The window for preferences that are independent of any networks, which includes a list of networks, has the title "XChat: Server list". This is both misleading and technically wrong, as the list is not of servers but of networks. This can lead to misunderstandings as there is also a list of servers under the prefs specific to each network in xchat-gnome 0.5 (in breezy), which is quite plainly a completely different kind of list.

This pertains to xchat 2.6.1, but I don't know which version of xchat-gnome (presumably the latest one).

I think it's a xchat bug and no a xchat-gnome ones.
The title should be: "XChat: Network list"

I get Server List for the list of networks too. This confused me in the beginning, but I guess I got used to it eventually. Confirming.

An interface change in edgy seems to have rendered this bug obsolete.
