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

- 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

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.
