What is the output of this command?
rpm -q konversation

MageiaWelcome will launch one of a number of IRC clients, depending on what you have installed.  It will install Konversation (in KDE) or HexChat if you don't have one.  It does not set a channel to connect to.  Our Konversation package does have a patch setting the default channel to #mageia.

The behavior you're seeing should not happen if you're using the Mageia package.

[hank@HIvyTower ~]$ rpm -q konversation
konversation-1.5-0.rc1.2.mga4
[hank@HIvyTower ~]$

As a side note, the system was a complete installation of Mageia 4.  But my home folder was left over from my Mandrake days.  Any default configuration installed with Mageia 4 may have been over ridden by an old configuration in my home folder.

I backed up my home folders on a flash drive, replaced the disk drives, installed Mageia 4 and most applications I wanted, and restored all the files on my home folders.

OK, yes your local user Konversation settings would be the source of that default channel.  It's probably ~/.kde4/share/config/konversationrc.  So you'll have to fix that in your own settings.  Thanks for the report though, it's good that we could look into this just in case.  Marking as INVALID.
