Gnome Desktop and ancient X-Chat on TV show Jericho

Just watched an episode of TV show Jericho and noticed a familiar desktop environment on a laptop being shown in the show:

Gnome and X-Chat at TV show Jericho

I'm pretty sure it's Gnome with X-Chat version 1.6.3 and an open terminal reading tim@localhost.localdomain /home/tim.

Besides the fact that it's nice to see an Open Source Desktop Environment on Television where often only Mac OS or Windows are shown off - why the hell did they use such an old X-Chat version?

    Ist ja nicht so, als würde Gnome an sich da sehr aktuell aussehen. Wenn man mal den Themegedanken außer acht lässt. Dann noch localhost.localdomain... würde ja zu gerne wissen wer das eingerichtet hat ;) . Fast schon ein bisschen paradox, wenn da ein X-Chat läuft, aber das Ding nichts hat, was an einen anständigen Netzwerknamen erinnert.

    Okay, I should edit that one. Already this far again, that I don't distinguish between English and German texts and just comment in whatever... well yeah... whatever. Almost a miracle that I didnt mix them while writing it. Andererseits verstehst du eh beides, also who cares.
