As a little wish, it'd be nice if the use cases of 'old skool' communicators could be considered here - i.e. those of us who use IRC heavily. Empathy isn't very good as an IRC client for my uses - it's clearly just shoehorning IRC into the old MSN/AIM 'chatrooms in an IM system' paradigm and it really doesn't fit in. xchat-gnome doesn't seem to have been hooked into the whole notification-area-messaging setup at all...it'd be nice if that could happen. Or, of course, someone could improve Empathy's IRC-fu vastly, or write something new and better than xchat-gnome, or whatever...it'd just be nice to have a shiny new generation GNOME Shell IRC-based messaging experience! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
