Yeah, sorry about that. I tried a "patch X-Chat to make it's UI not
suck" thing too, but it was just too much of a PITA to do against a
near-constantly changing codebase that actually has things like a
"--disable-glib" configure flag. Hence, gnomechat. :-)
I haven't committed anything in a while (I blame my professors, the
campus police, and Bush Jr. for sapping my time), but I'm still plugging
away.
