should not autojoin channels after wake from sleep

[dmd@…]

If Colloquy is running when the computer is woken from sleep, and there are channels in the "automatic join rooms" list, those channels will automatically be joined upon waking. This is an unexpected behavior. It seems that a distinction should be drawn between active choices by the user (launching Colloquy or choosing to connect to a server) and secondary effects of things like waking from sleep.

Colloquy, upon waking from sleep, should seek to restore the condition it was in before sleep. I think this should be user selectable between two possibilities:

1. Reconnect to all servers that were connected before going to sleep, but do NOT join channels.
2. Reconnect, AND join channels which were open when the computer went to sleep.

Notice that NEITHER of these cases has anything to do with the state of Colloquy's autojoin/autoconnect preferences - what happens on waking should NOT have anything to do with what the user has asked Colloquy to do on initial launch! Waking should depend only on the status of Colloquy when it went to sleep.

Part of this was fixed in [2754]. We should add a preference for this sort of thing. Some users also expect Colloquy to do the auto-commands and auto-joins every time the connection is established (the current behavior).

So there could be 2 preference choices:

• Reconnect to servers that were connect before sleep and don't join any channels that were left open.
• Reconnect and join all open channels.

There should also be a check box next to the auto-join list per connection that says: "Join only on first connect".
The auto-joins were never intended to only happen on launch only. This is really the first time I have heard someone wanting this behavior, but it has it's advantages.

This behavior appears to have returned in 2D24.

I think that if your computer falls asleep, when it wakes up, it should return to the exact state it was left in. Not going to fix.

Aparently not fixed in 3290. Wake from sleep SHOULD either return to the state it's in, or close all open windows and start over with the auto-connect and join lists.
