Description

When running `run_keybase -a` the GUI doesn't start minimized as it was supposed. This is due to [systemctl's import-environment](https://github.com/keybase/client/blob/151162e6839373b1157c0c15bb874e6d32eb17fd/packaging/linux/run_keybase#L63) needs the VARIABLE to be `export`ed to properly work, which not happens with `KEYBASE_AUTOSTART` in the script.

Research direction

Read packaging/linux/run_keybase at the linked line and reproduce the issue with run_keybase -a. Done means the GUI starts minimized when invoked this way, with the relevant environment variable available to systemctl.
