Please file a bug with xchat dev people I also tried playing around with removing ~/.xchat. It only succeeded in letting the server connect box come up (as opposed to crashing right away). If I then hit the connect button it brings up the regular xchat interface and connects to an IRC channel (the default #chatjunkie, IIRC) and you can use it normally. If you checked that box that disables the server connect at startup, however, it still crashed the next time I attempted to run it. On a whim, having been hearing about more and more GNOME apps using dbus, I went and followed the instructions in the freebsd.org/gnome FAQ to enable it. http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q25 I rebooted and xchat started up perfectly fine. Now, I don't know if it was directly related, but I had only played around with that ~/.xchat2 directory, nothing else after the upgrading, until the dbus enabling/rebooting. Just my experience for what it's worth, Alex
