"This is intended behaviour."
Well, that doesn't mean it's well designed...
"You can use KDE Connect on all desktops, so it autostarts on all desktops."
That's a clear non-sequitur: Just because it works everywhere it doesn't follow
by any logic that it should run everywhere no matter what!
At least give us a choice!
"If you don't want to use it, deinstall it."
I like to use Kdeconnect. At least here and then...
So unistalling is not a reasonable option.
But I do not want to use it everytime my computer starts. And certainly not
everytime I use an alternative desktop environment.
So what about my suggestion to change the default behaviour of "running in the
background no maater what" to "running in the background if and when the user
intends to use it"...
Kdeconnect gives access to my computer from an outside source. Even if devs
consider it secure for the moment there is a good argument to be made to
completely shut it down if it is not needed.
I have been under the impression KDE tries to not follow the Gnome appraoch of
shoving features down their user's throats but instead allow for individual
configuration.
This approach acknowledges the fact that the intention of devs, as well meant
as it might be, does not cover the intended workflows and use cases of the
individual user.
So according to KDE guidelines and promises of individuality - I'd still call
this a bug.
A simple option to disable KDEconnect by default (see my suggestion) and
activate it when the user wants to use seems a noncontroversial solution.
Anyone who wants to run it always and everywhere should be able to either tick
an option to autostart with any chosen desktop environment or even systemwide.
I do not care if it's optin or optout - just the option suffices.
If you don't want to use it, deinstall it.
