### Bug description

Configuring an account proxy configuration does not work after reboot until the user manually changes the proxy selection.

The connection settings are still shown in the UI and the `nextcloud.cfg` file still contains the proxy configuration, but the connection does not appear to be using them. So, for some reason, after reboot the Nextcloud Desktop agent is not using its global or the account connection settings.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Configure account to "Use global settings" (that has a proxy configuration)
2. Reboot system
3. Connection is broken
4. Open account connection settings
5. Confirm that it is configured to "Use global settings"
6. Confirm that `nextcloud.cfg` contains the proxy configuration
7. Switch account to "No proxy" -> Connection restored
8. Switch account to "Use global settings" -> Connection restored, still

### Expected behavior

Account connection settings should work after reboot without manually reapplying.
