I've put this back to 'In Progress' because...
I can confirm that the package xchat recommends libnotify-bin, but when
installed with 'Applications > Add/ Remove...' the recommended packages
are ignored.
Ubuntu 8.04
xchat 2.8.4-0ubuntu7
With the balloon alerts selected I get an error when xchat tries to use
them:
<quote>
Cannot find 'notify-send' to open balloon alerts.
Please install libnotify
</quote>
But that package can't be found:
<quote>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get install libnotify
[sudo] password for duncan:

E: Couldn't find package libnotify
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
</quote>
I can see that if I install libnotify-bin the balloon alerts work. So
this needs some changes if xchat should be able to use balloon alerts by
default in Ubuntu. Perhaps one of these changes:
* make libnotify-bin a dependency
* make apt recognise that libnotify is part of libnotify-bin
* make 'Add/ Remove...' (offer to) install recommended packages
** Changed in: xchat (Ubuntu)
Status: Fix Released => In Progress
