xchat does not show menu in gnome classic

After installing gnome-session-fallback and logging into gnome classic (no effects), I can no longer see the menus (Xchat, View, Server, Settings, Window, Help).

This means that when using this kind of session, I'm unable to add or connect to servers or use the tools Xchat offers.
