Pika Backup Autostarts ui instead of monitor on login for Gnome 42

Greetings!

I might've mentioned before, Pika has been my go to backup for over a year and love using it! I'm running EndeavourOS, essentially Arch with a GUI installer. We just got updated to Gnome 42 this week, which hasn't been without a few bugs lol! But in the mean time I use Pika Backup, which unfortunately isn't in the main Arch repos yet, but I use the one maintained in the AUR here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pika-backup There is also a git version of Pika in the AUR, but I am not using that one currently.

Anyways I receieved a Pika update this week, bringing it to v0.4.0.beta.1-1 and the new GTK4/libadwait change looks great and the additional features are a great quality of life improvement.

My current issues (don't worry it's a small one!) is whenever I log in to my desktop on Gnome 42, Pika Backup automatically starts up so it's the first thing I see.

I know there's no setting within Pika to enable it to autostart, so I checked Gnome Tweaks to see if Pika Backup somehow included one there, but my autostart list is empty as seen below:

It is indeed an odd behavior I've not seen before, (my guess would be maybe Xorg or systemd service) but feel free to address this whenever you get a chance at your earliest convenience, and thanks very much for making an amazingly awesome app, it's truly greatly appreciated. I'll leave some of my system info below if it helps. tl;dr Gnome 42, Xorg, Kernel 4.17, Pika v0.4.0.beta.1-1
