I put "nickserv" for service and my password in the "Auto Identify" boxes in the "Identities" dialog for my nick so I guess that's setup as it should be.

Nevertheless konversation always joins the channels before it identifies to the server. Noticeable is that this happens always since I use SSL with freenode while, without SSL, it happened only most times but not always.

Problem is that this behavior is pretty annoying for channel that require registration like e.g. #centos since one gets redirected to #centos-unregistered all the time (same e.g. with ##linux). Last but not least it constantly leaks the real hostname this way instead of simply showing the cloak.

Proposed solution: Simply let it wait 1-2 seconds after issuing the identify command and only after waiting join the channels. Should be easy to implement / change and isn't annoying since a delay of 1-2 seconds shouldn't do any harm.
