Mark Howard (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xchat- gnome/+bug/288468/comments/3) was able to track where the 'transparency background' setting sits. I just confirmed it works as a workaround.
Use gconf-editor, browse to apps/xchat/main-window, and change the 'background_type' key from 2 (transparency) to 1 or 0. xchat-gnome works fine after that. -- X BadImplementation error when starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/276036 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
