Description
### Expected behaviour
- Client launched autoatically vi dbus service - > process /usr/bin/nextcloud --background
- configuration or other UI windows opens only on user request
- there should be an 'Do not show this again' checkbox
### Actual behaviour
- repetitively opens account configuration window
- no easy way to stop client when not needed
### Steps to reproduce
1. run client in background
2. use desktop
3. account configuration window appears from time time
### Client configuration
Client version:
3.3.3
Operating system:
Fedora 34/35 - Gnome
OS language:
EN_US
Client package (From Nextcloud or distro) (Linux only):
nextcloud-client-libs-3.3.3-1.fc34.x86_64

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the GNOME D-Bus launch using /usr/bin/nextcloud --background and observe when the account configuration window appears. Trace the background startup path and verify that configuration windows remain closed until requested, with a regression test covering repeated launches.
