it is a xchat-gnome bug: -a is being passed, which isn't doing the same thing as it does in vanilla xchat:

juser@dhcp206:~$ xchat --help
  -a, --no-auto Don't auto connect to servers

juser@dhcp206:~$ xchat-gnome --help
  -a, --no-auto Don't auto-connect to servers

but behaves different: xchat -a doesn't connect to the default servers, xchat-gnome doesn't connect to anything.

Good news: easy fix for dapper is drop the -a, which currently allows it to connect to the –url – (the current behavior of xchat-gnome on dapper: it doesn't connect to anything - if that changes, then the -a will need to be added back)
