Currently Gibberbot starts on next boot if you "quit" from within an account. In order to stop it from doing this you have to go out to the account list and from there choose Sign Out All. This is not userfriendly and could even be deemed somewhat insecure. Remember that a lot of people only use one account, and will likely due to the design of the app never even know that there is an account list they can back out to unless they look around for it - and it certainly isn't a place anyone would go to look for a way to make the application not start up on boot.

So please, can we move this to a more sane UI design? Several options are possible - put "start on boot" in the options of individual accounts as well, put a link to global options in the options of each account and put it there, make the app boot into the account list so new users even know it's there (of course this is not user friendly either given the one account use-case). One of these options pretty much has to be implemented, because it's non intuitive to know that one or the other quit/sign out function will or will not make the program start on next boot.

Personally I'd also argue to make start on boot opt in rather than opt out, but that's less of an issue.

I was smart enough to find out how to work around this, but I'm also smart enough to know that it'll be a nuisance to have to do these extra steps each time, and if I forget I know I'll end up signed in for a day or so when I'm not supposed to be, wasting battery, missing messages that go to the phone instead of my laptop, and so on. And it's not hard to see that the reviews on the google play-store are plagued by this issue as well, even though they don't seem to know why or what to do about it.
