Folks, after having upgraded "xchat" on my system, I found myself with an ugly GTK2 version, that has horrible unreadable fonts, bad spacing, disgusting colors, etc... In a word, "unusable".
Since there is no longer any xchat-GTK1 version on Debian testing, I tried "gaim", and saw that it was also a GTK2 version. I flew away in panic, and de-installed it immediately. As a result, I'm left with no access to IRC. I'll miss the great xchat with its nice GTK1 interface. I don't understand what people find so great about GTK2: the look of GTK1 was decent enough, and at least the default fonts were readable! And it did not use as much CPU as GTK2 does (well, at least gtk-gnutella for GTK2 sucks all the CPU power of my poor Celeron 466 MHz). So I won't be accessing IRC anymore. Thank god, I can still read e-mail with mutt. ;-) Raphael P.S: Does anyone know about a good X11 client for IRC? Anything non-GTK2 will do, as long as it's nice, useable, as decently equipped with the basic IRC features (multi-server, multi-channel, configurable keyword highlighting, macros for shortcuts). ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by Dice.com.
