Title:
  Doesn't reload window decorations if started via .xprofile

Status in “xchat-gnome” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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.
