XChat does not remember favourite channels set from the right-click menu

You should be able to set it in the network list, under the settings for the network in question. Let us know if that also fails.

I used NetworkList > Edit Ubuntu Servers in Favourite channels. There I
manually entered #ubuntu-hardened and it works fine ..

I tried, and I have the same problem adding favorite channels from the right-click menu.

ah!! confirmed
i think its a papercut

As mentioned in Debian Bug 510413, this is fixed in xchat-2.8.8 with patch from upstream: http://xchat.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xchat?view=rev&revision=1367

A fixed version of xchat-2.8.6 with that patch is in my PPA. Would be nice if this patch got into lucid-updates :-)
