Support Messaging Menu

[Jorge Castro]

This application should be ported to use messaging menu for Lucid - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeMenu
 affects ubuntu/xchat-gnome

 tag messaging-indicator

I don't think xchat-gnome falls into the category of indicator-application, xchat-gnome is messaging and belongs in the MeMenu. I already wrote a plugin for xchat-gnome for messaging menu support. It isn't 100% yet, but it mostly works.

nobody uses xchat-gnome and i think this should be done for "xchat" not "xchat-gnome"
xchat is more featured.

[Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)]

The plugin can work in both, I'll investigate packaging it in a way that handles both cases nice. My experience is the opposite, xchat-gnome supports the features most people care about and has a simpler user interface. I haven't met anyone in years that used xchat (i guess until now), but I am sure there are still plenty.
