Bug description:
Apparently someone made the decision to remove XChat from the default
installation for Dapper. This is important because it is the means
new users use to reach the various IRC channels on Freenode and all
the support those have to offer. I understand that Gaim is still
included and supports IRC, but this has a few problems as an
alternative. First, new users are not going to thing that Gaim
Internet Messenger in their Applications menu has anything to do with
getting support. Second, setting up, connecting to, and using IRC
isn't entirely intuitive. Third, many people simply don't like Gaim's
IRC UI. Fourth, it does not have the built-in setting like XChat had
to automatically join #ubuntu when first started. In short, a brand
new user is significantly less likely to manage to find the support of
the IRC channels on their first boot of Ubuntu without XChat included
and not knowing the ropes pretty well already. The IRC channels are
an absolutely vital way of helping new users, and must be very easily
accessible. Inclusion of XChat is a big step towards that. (Further
UI setup for first boot are an issue as well, but that's a separate
issue.)
