### Bug description
Nextcloud doesn't minimize for the past months (year?) for me. Despite using the `--background` flag.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Use Linux Mint XFCE or any XFCE desktop I assume
2. Execute Nextcloud with `--background` flag: `/usr/bin/nextcloud --background`
3. Nextcloud desktop will start, however **NOT** minimized. Despite the `--background` flag.
### Expected behavior
Nextcloud desktop should minimize when using `--background`!

Ps. also you desktop client will keep logging the `Nextcloud_sync.log` in the old `~/.local/share/Nextcloud` location. Instead of the new `~/.config/Nextcloud`.
