Bug Description

Binary package hint: xchat-gnome

Xchat and Xchat gnome lack plugin events for windows close. It would be nice if plugins (say, the indicator plugin) could catch the event and do something else (like minimize to the indicator).

Patch for xchat-gnome attached.

So it doesn't get lost...

This bug is blocking https://bugs.launchpad.net/null/+bug/474906 , which is intended to make xchat-gnome and xchat behave more like empathy, "closing" to the messaging menu.

The attached patch for this and the attached patch for 474906 makes the problem go away in xchat-gnome.

Hi Jeremy,

Is there an equivalent patch for xchat as well?

So I created a debdiff for Jeremy's patch, adding it to debian/patches and creating the changelog entry.

I declined to upload it, though, as I suspect that this is new functionality and probably requires a Feature Freeze Exception.

Nothing for xchat-gtk currently. I spent a few minutes looking for the right place to hook into the window-close process, but didn't see an obvious spot.

Given Dustin's assessment, removing the sponsors team until a FFe is granted. (Jeremy, to do that, subscribe ~ubuntu-release and explain the case for an exception. If granted, re-subscribe ~ubuntu-sponsors.)

Hm. Looks like this slipped through the cracks and did not get into natty. I think instead of unsubbing sponsors pending a FFe it would have been better to just leave it in the queue until oneiric opened and then sponsor it in at that point.
