xchat-gnome also never actually supported a gtk3 release. This package was a git snapshot of the mid-transition to gtk3. It was half finished and very broken. This package has multiple thousand line patches to try and just get it working. The project is very dead, this is an Ubuntu fork, it makes no sense to keep it around.

It was removed from Debian and Ubuntu 17.04. It was reintroduced to Ubuntu but without any real commitment to maintain the package. Its last upstream release was 9 years ago https://download.gnome.org/sources/xchat-gnome/0.26/ The Ubuntu version is a bizarre mix up of a git snapshot and 37 patches. Users would be better off switching to hexchat which is actually maintained. See also https://launchpad.net/bugs/1753169 for xchat, a somewhat different app with the same general problem.
