Long-term I'd advocate having an autostart service for putting .desktop files into the autostart folder, documented in the home-services section with the concrete example of syncthing-gtk perhaps there or in the Cookbook. We shouldn't change the package description, we don't do that for packages we need at the system level (within or without a service).

The string you need to replace is "get_executable\\(\\)" in syncthing_gtk/uisettingsdialog.py Happy hacking
