According to bug #53088, support for the GNOME panel was recently added to irssi (in potato). Now, I use a window manager which I believe is GNOME-aware (fvwm2), but I don't use the GNOME panel. I upgraded irssi tonight, and now when I start it it fires up the GNOME panel and fails to actually display anything in its own main window. You can see what I'm talking about at <http://riva.ucam.org/~cjw44/irssi.jpg>.
I'm reluctant to report this immediately as a bug because my configuration might be broken in some way. The GNOME panel's pretty and all that, though, but I'd rather not have to use it just to use a GNOME IRC client. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's had similar problems.
