I'm not trying to crusade for XChat users (being mainly an irssi man myself) just seeing if I can help at all, as I can't help much with Kopete issues (I use it for AIM and MSN only). e.g. One thing that annoyed me about XChat was the throttling it did when I tryed to /exec -o cowsay ;). /set net_throttle 0 worked perfectly :> Cheers David David: My biggest complaint with xchat is that the notify system is very clunky and difficult to use and is very very prone to false positives, as well, it does not (that I have found) have a facility for keeping a list of chans that you frequent etc (other than the autojoin on start function). KVIRC works well for me but its quite unstable in some aspects, and the notification (sounds etc) system for it is a bit hard to use as its designed more for scripters etc. Konversation is nice, but has problems with some IRC daemons, and im not into the command line based stuff at all Tim Tim Holmes IT Manager / Webmaster / Teacher Medina Christian Academy A Higher Standard... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I tend to use irssi although XChat is perhaps "friendlier". The latter would make it easy to see at a glance which channel(s) there was activity in.
