The settings of a network contain a "Commands" field which can be used to run input line commands upon a connection to that network being established. In that field, there's a special "%nick" variable available which expands into the current nickname. This can be combined with the /exec command to run an external script that evaluates whether the nickname is the desired nick, and if not, use Konversation's DCOP IPC interface to make it send the ghost command to nickserv.

Hence, you would have to put something like this into the user-local scripts folder (KDE3 & KDE4: ~/.kde/share/apps/konversation/scripts, KF5: ~/.local/share/konversation/scripts), under the name "getnickback", and mark it as executable:

For KDE 3.5 use this here

'"`UNIQ--syntaxhighlight-00000001-QINU`"'

As KDE 4 and later has changed to use D-Bus instead of DCOP, use this variant for versions based on kdelibs4 or KF5

'"`UNIQ--syntaxhighlight-00000005-QINU`"'

Notice the nick and password settings you need to fill in as you need them to be. Then, into the network's "Commands" field put /exec getnickback %nick
