I recently adopted this and I think the focus of this package is not having syncthing enabled by systemctl. I wont´t change this behavior for now... About your comments, like "makes no sense at all" and "But now it's the opposite of good. :-)" I just can say: don´t use it and/or create your own.

@spsf64: Yes, just start syncthing in the background using the systemd unit. Then syncthing gets started automatically as it is intended.

systemctl --user enable syncthing
systemctl --user start syncthing

This way syncthing always runs in the background and you can reach the web interface at any time using the link in this desktop file. In the past this package was only for starting the GUI in your default browser. It didn't care about starting syncthing and I think that was good as it was. But now it's the opposite of good. :-)

@jo2k: If you close the browser, next time you restart the webGUI it won't work because the process is already running. You have another suggestion?

What is the reason for your change to the desktop file? Killing the process before starting the web interface makes no sense at all.
