Konversation 1.9.22041 does change the config files ordering (.konversationrc) every open/close cycle when having two Identities. This contradicts the goal to have a stable configuration, e.g. for dotfile storage. See also Bug 441575 (separate state config). The problem here seems to be, that the ordering of the identities is not fixed. I have two identities configured. Every time I open/close konversation, the ordering is reversed, i.e, Identity 0 become Identity 1 and vice versa (see config snipped below). Thus, after two cycles, the configuration is again the original one. It might be relevant, that both Identities have the same Ident and the same Nichnames configured. Here is the config [Identity 0] AuthType=nickserv AutomaticAway=true AutomaticUnaway=true AwayInactivity=10 AwayMessage=/me is away: %s AwayNick= AwayReason= Bot=NickServ Codec=UTF-8 Ident=till InsertRememberLineOnAway=true KickReason=User terminated!
