[Original Report]Binary package hint: xchat

In the XChat preferences' sub section 'Alerts' there is a row that mentions “Show tray balloons on”. This is deprecated wording and should be changed.

Recommendation from the Design Team:
"Change “tray balloons” to “notification bubbles”."

This bug report is part of our effort to remove references to the tray from all applications as the notification area is going to be deprecated in Ubuntu.
Moving the bug list from <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotificationAreaTransition/Applications> to Launchpad.

Logan,

The fix appears correct, but this would change UI and translations; which should go with notifying the translation teams (see https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators) so that we can also get the new translations for this change. From that point I think it will be nicer to update the package to do this change.

Or we can just target this to Q since it's just how the notification bubbles are referred though, even if it looks silly :)

Now that Quantal is open, please retarget this patch for the version of xchat that is in Quantal.

Also, NACK on the current merge request since it changes files inline instead of using the patch system. Please use the patch system that is currently being used in the package.
