Well, I still wouldn't be sure it's not a font related issue, since it doesn't 
try to use the font you choose in xchat.conf until the server tab is 
shown(the server list uses some other font for that, I think). Furthermore, 
it seems rather far-fetched to me that the network code itself is faulty. If 
it segfaults because of some bad socket, it would have been immediately 
noticed by all 1.9.3 users and fixed promptly. 
 I do recall having a similar situation in one of my tries. I suggest you 
start off by giving it the default font that it wants. which means, 
installing the appropriate deb for it, of course. just search for the font 
name in packages.debian.org, and install the package it's in(I did that as 
well). Also, you should probably try and compile from the 
xchat-20021024.tar.bz2 package on X-Chat's site. That's what I used when I 
actually got it to work yesterday. Lastly, because I still think it's a font 
issue, you might want to try and compile it with Pango, and then directly 
with Xft, and see if it exhibits the same behaviour. This can give more 
accurate information where the problem resides.
Hope this helps,
Amir.
