Could you give us a trace using a xchat-gnome with debug symbols please? If needed you can use this package http://www.cerkinfo.be/~kujo/xchat-gnome_0.11-0ubuntu5_i386.deb
Do you have this crash with a fresh user? What's your locales? Did you try with C as locales? -- xchat-gnome crashes on 'save transcript' on blank screen https://launchpad.net/bugs/52692 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
