How to Add a Shortcut to IRC Room on Desktop

[Gregory Piñero]

Hi Experts!

Sorry for such an elementary question but I can't figure it out.  How
can I add a shortcut to my desktop (Ubuntu standard Gnome issue) so
that I can click on it and it opens up X-Chat and takes me to the
#Ubuntu chat?

(Bonus points for telling me how to do it on Xubuntu ;-)

Much Appreciated!
