I'm connecting to an IRC server using a self-signed certificate. I accepted the
certificate.

If I lose the connection, konversation isn't able to reconnect automatically.
(Same thing will happen if I use the Reconnect menu option).

Here is the log: 

[12:15] [Info] Server found, connecting...
[12:15] [SSL Connection Error] Could not connect to irc.canonical.com:6697
using SSL encryption. Maybe the server does not support SSL, or perhaps you
have the wrong port? The host name did not match any of the valid hosts for
this certificate The certificate is self-signed, and untrusted 
[12:15] [Error] Connection to Server irc.canonical.com lost: The host name did
not match any of the valid hosts for this certificate.

[12:15] [Info] Trying to reconnect to irc.canonical.com in 10 seconds.

Closing the tab and connecting again from the Server dialog box works.

The most annoying part of the bug is that automatic reconnection doesn't work,
which is very annoying on flaky connections.
