Bug Description

So I'm now using Ubuntu 18.04 and I've installed this package...

https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/hexchat-indicator

Which seems uses this source package...

https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/bionic/xchat-indicator

Which is this project I'm logging a bug against.

Basically if you install the standard 'hexchat' and 'hexchat-indicator' packages you'll find the indicator plugin gets loaded but does absolutely nothing.

Oddly the fix is this...

sudo mv /usr/share/applications/io.github.Hexchat.desktop /usr/share/applications/hexchat.desktop

Not sure why, but I picked up this warning which made me think to try it...

** (hexchat:10682): WARNING **: 07:17:41.239: could not find the desktop file for 'hexchat.desktop'

The end.
