I just encountered this bug on Karmic, same symptoms as the OP (trying to add channels, grey window, unresponsive, then crash).
I was running a lot of internet stuff at the time, so maybe xchat was timing out and crashing? -- xchat-gnome crashed with SIGSEGV in IA__g_main_context_prepare() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341697 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to xchat-gnome in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
