Public bug reported:
Starting xchat-gnome does not put an icon in the dock. If I switch to a
different window, I can't reach it by Alt+tab : I have to minimise other
windows until I reach the xchat window. However, if I ever minimise the
xchat window itself, I can't ever reach it again, because it is not in
the dock, it is not in Alt+tab, AND it is not in the letter-shaped
indicator/applet, unlike what it looks like : when clicking on the
"xchat" item in that menu, it starts a new xchat, over and over.
This problem happened to me with several other apps since the beginning
of the gnome3/unity era (even OOCalc, a very important app). It never
ever happened in gnome2 days (or before) : it was essentially impossible
to lose an app window this way. Therefore I think that the best way to
fix this bug is most certainly in the gnome infrastructure itself,
though in the meantime, fixing this bug at the level of xchat-gnome
would make it less unusable (I would not attempt to use it in that
state).
The app named just "xchat" does appear in the dock and Alt+tab.
This is on a fresh install of 12.04 immediately upgraded to 14.04 before
trying the above (if it matters at all).
