Sorry for the late reply. In Plasma/5.7 branch it's set to autostart NotShowIn=KDE which makes it start automatically on Gnome etc which is strange, the change was for the menu file as there's no point having it in the menu for Plasma because you can run it through the systray but other desktop users might be interested in running it so it should be shown. Should be fixed in 5.8 branch which has two desktop files, menu file gets shown in !KDE and autostart file is only for KDE.
