GSConnect starts up even when the extension is disabled.

Describe the bug

If you install the extension and sync with your phone, then disable it via the system menu button in the top-right panel — or even disable the extension entirely — synchronization with the phone still starts after a reboot. I tested this on ALT Linux 11 with GNOME 48.

It turns out the problem is caused by the autostarted daemon.js file — it launches after login, regardless of whether the extension is enabled or not.

A temporary solution is to add a script like this to autostart:

#!/bin/sh
sleep 5
killall daemon.js

The 5-second delay may need to be increased on slower computers.

With the extension enabled but the system menu button turned off, the process is killed immediately at startup, and synchronization does not occur. If the button is enabled, everything works normally.
