Right click the #cactus bookmark in the contact list and choose 'Get Info' (or use cmd-I). Choose the rightmost tab at the top of this window and select "Bookmark: automatically join on connect". You probably also want "Always show this contact".</div><div><br></div><div>It would be nice to have the channel joined and messages logged even if the chat window was closed, but this doesn't seem to be possible in the currently released version (<a href="http://trac.adium.im/ticket/12068">http://trac.adium.im/ticket/12068</a>).
