[GNC] ANNOUNCE: IRC: irc.gnome.org Alias Changed

[Adrien Monteleone]

Thanks Derek,

As you could see in the channel, that helped.

I notice I had changed the Network Name but not the server.

I now have them both as 'irc.gimp.org' and I'm now in the right channel.

For anyone else seeing this, I got a bit confused with the various 
aliases and the page on the Wiki.

The *server* name needs to be: irc.gimp.org

(in my particular client, that field is a drop down, which I didn't at 
first realize I could type in my own choice.)

Regards,
Adrien

p.s. - the strange thing is that when both the Network & Server name 
were set to irc.gnome.org, I was still in the right channel.(?!)
