Userlist overlaps its selector button when displayed

Forwarded from: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xchat-gnome/+bug/32132 xchat-gnome kindly doesn't clutter my screen with a userlist, which is nice. However, when I want to check it, I click on the channel name, and a box pops up with the list of users. Once I'm done scanning, I would like to be able to click the button to make it go away again. This isn't possible because the userlist overlaps the button that I just clicked on, and clicking again causes me to go into a /query with whoevers name happened to wind up sitting on top of the button. I think the problem could be solved easily by having the userlist box appear the buttonwidth to the right of where it is now.
You can in fact click *anywhere* outside the user list to hide it (much like a pop-up menu). However, popping it up somewhat offset might help avoid confusion.
also the search entry of the GtkTreeView isn't visible because the userlist takes the whole screen and then the entry is offscreen. But maybe this is a GTK bug, the entry should be smart enough to go else where (on the left/right of the GtkTreeView) instead of offscreen. So maybe this bug is duplicate of #327259 ?
Fixed in svn. I don't think this is a dupe of #327259, since this has to do with visibility of the "Users" button rather than the search entry.
