Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xchat-gnome
I have a .xprofile script to launch xchat and other apps I always like to have in session. Unfortunately, when I do this xchat-gnome comes up with the GNOME default window decorations, not the Ubuntu Ambiance theme decorations that it should. I notice that the apps in .xprofile seem to start up prior to the window manager being fully initialized. Sometimes I'll see gnome-terminal loaded also with the GNOME default decorations. However, at some point the window manager must send a signal or gnome-terminal notices the theme change or something, and it gains the correct decorations. xchat- gnome never seems to get the message in this case. This issue has been present for several releases at least. Also, it doesn't happen on every boot, but maybe 25% of the time. I guess it's a race condition between the WM coming up and xchat-gnome. I've attempted putting in sleeps to the xchat-gnome invocation which I suppose helps but I still see the incorrect behavior from time to time.
