X-Chat systray plugin?

[andrewski]

What is the best way to get the X-Chat systray plugin installed? I came from Gentoo, which had it in its repository alongside X-Chat, but there is no such package in any of the Ubuntu repositories (I have multiverse and universe enabled also). Any tips?

Is it in the hoary repositories or the backports?

Hey there,

You can get more info about it here: http://www.blight.tk/

I know where I can find the plugin; my question is whether or not I should expect to install it with an Ubuntu package or not since one is not available.

Hey there,

Since a deb is not available, install it locally.

There's a deb http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/xchat2-plugins/xchat-systray-integration_2.4.5-2_i386.deb?download and also a patch to blink on channel message http://bombersman.com/xchat/systray-2.4.5-modified.tar.gz

ok.. so I know it's installed
"SysTray Integration Plugin Version 2.4.5 successfully loaded"
however how is it used? (first timer here) when I click the X/close in the main X-Chat window shouldn't it still keep on running in the background? Like gaim does for example..

Not quite. If you want to remove X-Chat from the windowlist you double click on the tray Icon. Also, when you receive highlighted messages or DCC requests the icon will blink in a very nice. As an extra, you can configure application shortcuts to it, but that's not really useful.
