Binary package hint: xchat-gnome

xchat-gnome 1:0.26.1-1ubuntu2

1. In Ubuntu Software Center, navigate to "Get Software" > "Internet" > "X-Chat Gnome IRC Chat".

What you see: "GNOME's philosophy in terms of user interfaces has been progressing towards presenting the user with few options, yet sane defaults. While many of the normal X-Chat options will be preserved inside GConf, only the most common settings will be included in the main user interface."

What you should see: A description that is helpful to someone trying to decide whether to install the program.

A description that was helpful would not use the words "GNOME", "philosophy", "in terms of", "progressing", "the user", "sane", "GConf", or "user interface". Instead, it would concentrate on the program's features and the benefits of using it.
